Ruling on feeding before fasting in the expiation for making up Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling for one who owes making up fasts and feeding the poor or needy for breaking the fast in Ramadan? If he feeds them in advance for all the days, and then after finishing the feeding he fasts the number of days he owes, is this correct or not?
Answer:
There is no harm; he may feed first or delay it. Whether he feeds first or delays it, if he has days from Ramadan that he delayed until another Ramadan, he must make up the fasts and feed one poor person for each day. Whether he feeds first or delays it, it is half a sa' for each day, meaning one and a half kilograms for each day, if he delayed them until after another Ramadan. Yes.
