Ruling on Delaying the Making Up of Ramadan Fasts Due to Postpartum Bleeding and Illness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I have to make up three months of Ramadan because I was experiencing postpartum bleeding, and I was ill for one month. I made them up late without paying expiation. What is your opinion, Your Excellency?
Answer:
If it was for an excuse, there is no expiation. If it was for a legitimate religious excuse, such as illness, childbirth, or pregnancy that prevents fasting, there is no harm. If it was without an excuse, it is obligatory to feed one poor person for every day, which is half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg), or one and a half kilograms, for every day, if it was without an excuse; if one was negligent and delayed making them up after Ramadan out of negligence.
