Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner (M. M. 'A) says: I fasted for several days of Ramadan, several years ago, due to a valid legal excuse; because I was unaware of the obligation to make up those days afterwards; and therefore I have not made them up until now. What must I do now? Is it making up the fasts and paying expiation, or just making up the fasts, or does my lack of knowledge exempt me from making them up?
Answer:
You have three obligations: repentance to Allah for your action, making up the fasts as well, and feeding one poor person half a sa' for each day, which is one and a half kilograms of the local staple food for each day.
Three things: repentance, making up the fasts, and feeding one poor person half a sa' for each day, which is one and a half kilograms of the local staple food, yes, give it to some of the poor, yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you, O Shaykh.
