بســـم اللــه الرحــمــن الـرحـــيــم
▪️What happens if a woman delays repaying her missed fasts up until the next Ramaḍhān?▪️
Our Shaykh, Muḥammad ibn Ḥizām -may Allāh preserve him- was asked the following question:
📩 Question:
A woman missed a day from Ramaḍhān and didn't make up for it until the start of the next Ramaḍhān. What is upon her?
📝 Answer:
If she was prevented from making it up due to sickness, weakness, pregnancy or breastfeeding, then there's nothing upon her except to make it up after Ramaḍhān. Allāh says:
{فَعِدَّةࣱ مِّنۡ أَیَّامٍ أُخَرَ}
“...then an equal number of other days...”
[Surah Al-Baqarah 184]
If however she had the ability to make it up but was negligent and delayed up until the next Ramaḍhān then she is sinful for this and she has to repent to Allāh and seek forgiveness. The scholars differed over whether the one who missed fasting out of negligence should feed a poor person on top of making up for the fast. And what is closer to being correct -inshāAllāh- is that she only has to make up for the missed fast. Allāh says:
{فَعِدَّةࣱ مِّنۡ أَیَّامٍ أُخَرَ}
“...then an equal number of other days...”
[Surah Al-Baqarah 184]
This is the opinion of Imām Al-Bukhārī. He has a chapter heading on this in his authentic collection that reads:
'Allāh says: ”...and whoever is ill or on a journey, the same number of days which one did not observe fasts must be made up from other days...,”' without the mention of feeding the poor.
