Delaying the making up of Ramadan fasts until the second Ramadan due to illness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person misses a few days of Ramadan due to illness, and this illness continues until the following Ramadan, and then he has to make up the fasts along with feeding people, does he have to feed one person for each day, or can he feed them all in one day? Who is it for? And is money sufficient?
Answer:
If the illness continues from Ramadan to the next Ramadan, he does not have to feed people; he only makes up the fasts, meaning he is excused. If the illness continues with him from Ramadan to the next Ramadan, and then Allah grants him health after the second Ramadan, he makes up what he missed from the first Ramadan without the need to feed people.
Feeding people is only required of the one who is negligent and does not make up the fasts until Ramadan arrives without an excuse. He is negligent and delays until Ramadan comes and he has not made them up; this is the one who, in addition to making up the fasts, must feed people according to a group of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). A group of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) issued a ruling that he should fast what he left and feed people for his negligence, for delaying without an excuse. For each day, he gives half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) of the local staple food, such as rice or other grain. He gathers it and gives it to some of the poor. He does not give money; he gives food, as the Companions ruled. He gathers it and gives it to some of the poor before fasting or after fasting, and praise be to Allah.
