salam-

this is a question pertaining to females, but if anyone else feels like answering, go ahead. When you have fasts to make up from a previous ramadan due to circumstances that can’t be helped :slight_smile: when do you make them up? My mom does them as soon as ramadan is over. I usually wait till the right b-4 the next one, b/c so far the days are short :blush: that’s what im doing right now. however, a few days ago i heard that you are not supposed to fast the last-actually i don’t remember how many days, i think its 10 or 15?-days before the upcoming Ramadan. Well i’m doing it anyways, because i have to finish making them up. Can anyone help me with this?

u shud make up for the missed days as soon as possible....
most people usually try to get them over before the eid-al-adhaa....

and its not right to fast in the last 15 days of shaabaan....
u shud have finished them earlier....

in my own personal opinion, u may as well finish ur missed days in this period, rather than holding it up, but dont fast in the last couple of says before ramadhan....

and next time, finish them up right after the eid-al-fitr....

According to a Hadith narrated in Saheeh Moslem, A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, is reported to have made up for the missed fast- days of Ramadan in the following month of Shaban. She would not make up for them immediately after Ramadan even when she would be able to do so. Succession and continuation are not stipulated for the making up for missed fast-days.

Ad-Daraqutnyy reports on the authority of Ibn (son of) `Umar, may Allah be pleased with both of them, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "One is free to choose whether to make up for the missed days of Ramadan in intervals or in succession."

i dont see any hadith saying that the dates it should be made up for, or before eid. what some hadiths say is about the delaying of making up. and what is in the quran it says "And whosoever of you is sick or on a journey, (let him fast the same) number of other days." that is clear. so as to the first hadith of aisha(ra) is clear as well.

AsSalaamu 'alaykum,

The following shall insha'Allaah prove useful ...

Question:

I know that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not allow fasting on the Day of Doubt, and he forbade fasting two days before Ramadaan, but is it permissible for me to make up missed Ramadaan fasts on these two days?.

*Answer: *

Praise be to Allaah.

Yes, it is permissible to make up missed Ramadaan fasts on the day of doubt and one or two days before Ramadaan.

It was proven that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade fasting the day of doubt, and he forbade anticipating Ramadaan by fasting one or two days before it begins, but this prohibition does not apply to a person who has a habitual pattern of fasting, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Do not anticipate Ramadaan by fasting one or two days before it begins, but if a man habitually fasts, then let him fast.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1914; Muslim, 1082. So if a person is used to fasting on Mondays, for example, and that coincides with the last day of Sha’baan, then it is permissible for him to observe that as a voluntary fast and it is not forbidden for him to do so.

If it is permissible to observe a voluntary fast that one does regularly, then it is more appropriate that it should be permissible to make up a missed Ramadaan fast, because that is obligatory, and because it is not permissible to delay making up missed fasts until after the following Ramadaan.

Al-Nawawi said in al-Majmoo’, 6/399:

Our companions said: It is not correct to fast on the day of doubt when it is uncertain that Ramadaan has begun, and there is no difference of scholarly opinion on this point… But if a person fasts it to make up for a missed fast, or in fulfillment of a vow, or as an act of expiation (kafaarah), then it is permissible, because if it is permissible to observe a voluntary fast on that day for one who has a reason to do so, then it is more appropriate that one should be allowed to observe an obligatory fast. This is like the time when it is forbidden to pray (when one may nevertheless offer a prayer for which there is a reason). And if a person still owes some missed Ramadaan fasts, then he has to observe those fasts, because the time for making it up has become very short.
