Years of Missed Fasts | Dr. Shabir Ally

Question: "I missed a whole bunch of fasts over the last decade or more due to illness, menstruation, and pregnancy. Do I have to make up these fasts? It seems too difficult a task for me to accomplish." Dr. Shabir Ally explains that this question isn't answered in the Quran. He advises that if you've missed some fasts from last Ramadan, you should try to complete them before the next Ramadan begins. If you aren't able to do so, then provide one meal for one person for each day missed. And if you don't have the financial ability, then that too is waived.

Its very cruel to require a woman who was pregnant and breastfeeding for several years, Some women even 10 years, to make up those days! If you had 5 kids 1 or 2 years apart you can't make up 300 days! That's almost a whole year. So I like this option way more.

Believe me or not, I realised it before my death could come anytime, cause one never know when he or she's going to die. It was a huge burden physiologically on me.. I'm still in the state where I don't have enough money to pay fidya but your answer to my question that I've searched here put that whole bag of burden off my shoulders. Thank you so very much sir... 🤲

I have a similar problem. I have diagnosed with diabetes in 2007, since then I did not fast at all, but I paid the cost of two meals in each of the 30 days to a poor man. This year I tried to fast, and by the grace of Allah, I continue without having any major health problems. Should I do any compensation fasting? Or anything else?

[NightmareZzK]

But what if you broken your fast for the pasted years of Ramadan out ignorance like you completely didn’t know you have to make up for the day and you don’t know it could be sinful because you thought you are not in that age where you must fast please answer my question I really want to know😔😔😔😫😫

[sohaiburrahman]

My question is can we pay daily for a person as fidhya who is chronically ill if you cant find somebody to give food to.

[irmabronder]

Simply just start with a clean line in my eyes. Feed others for a year and before the next Ramadan fast a week earlier. I do not think you need to torture yourself when you were unknown with what to do at that time when you were menstruating or pregnant, everyone is still learning. To feel better you have given the world more kids with the Islamic religion, so that is a good deed. Forgive yourself and improve your knowledge about Islam.

[Aslisharukh]

Assalamu alaikum wa rehmatullahi wa baraqatuhu Dr. Shabir. I really admire the work that you do and the questions that you’ve answered in the past have been really helpful.
But in this particular question, when it comes to people who can’t give charity, for them what would be the motivation for fasting in the month of Ramadan, apart from the rewards that can be gained, but also considering that there will be no loss by not doing it since it will be ultimately waived off by the next Ramadan?
If you could shed light on this, it would be great. Jazakallahukhair.
P.S.: This is not a rhetorical question. :)

My mother is 75 years old and finding it difficult to keep fast, what should she go

[HAB]

What do you mean the Quran didn't mention this? it's in the same verse that you mentioned Quran 2:185.
There are many translations but basically if you're sick or traveling you fast the days you missed at a different time.

[hamudintl]

What about someone sick then there come good health later ? They have to give fidya or continue the fast during they was sick in the ramadan. I heard that who was sick during the ramadan they can give fidya. But after ramadan if they come good health then they must fast. Not accept the fidya. It's true?

At first I read the thumbnail as "years of missed farts"

[abdhallanassor]

We don't need moon to fast because we believe in God not black stone
