Doubt Regarding Fasting in Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
My mother is doubtful about making up the fasts of Ramadan; she does not know if she fasted them or not, and she has forgotten how many she owes. What should she do?
Answer:
Answer: Look at her condition. If she is confused and now has doubts and a lack of mental control, she owes nothing. But if she is sane, her mind is present, and she is doubtful, that is a problem. They say that doubt after an act of worship has no effect. If she did not doubt during Ramadan that she did not fast, but only doubted after Ramadan had ended, that does not harm her. Doubt after an act of worship does not harm.
