Ruling on Delaying the Making Up of Ramadan for a Valid Excuse
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q418: The questioner says: A person delayed making up the month of Ramadan last year for legal and health reasons. What is the ruling on this delay, and what is obligatory upon him?
A418: It is permissible to delay for a valid excuse, and he must make up the fasts; making them up is necessary. However, if he delayed without a valid excuse until a new Ramadan arrived, he must fast the current Ramadan, and when it ends, he must make up what he owes from the previous Ramadan. In addition to making up the fasts, he must feed one poor person for every day as expiation for the delay without a valid excuse.
