~ || RAMADAAN FACTS AND QUESTIONS|| ~ 💡 *What should a person do when he/she has lots of missed fasts or years of missed fasts (Ramadaan)?* 💡 ➤ The scholars say that missed fasts are of two types - 📌 When a person has any legitimate reasons to miss a fast, such as menstruation/period, breast feeding, sick or travelling, or any other reasons. 📌 When a person knowingly did not intend to fast during Ramadaan and missed a fast due to ignorance as he/she was not practising at that time. 🔖For the first type, he or she has to make up the missed days in any possible time of the year except Ramadaan. She may fast on Mondays and Thursdays or the three white days of an Islamic month or at her best ability. But she must make it up. Scholars have a dispute over expiation for this, hence most of them agreed that there is no expiation for the missed days unless a person is unable to fast. 🔖 For the second type, where a person did not intend to fast at all, he /she can not make them up. Those fasts are gone. They must repent to Allah. And Allah knows the best. 💡 *If a person fails to make up the missed fasts before the next Ramadaan, is she sinful? Can she fast the next Ramadaan?* 💡 ➤ The scholars say that she is not sinful as there is no particular sin described in the hadith or Quran. But she must make them up later as per her ability after Ramadaan. 🔖 And yes, she should fast the nect Ramadaan as well. And Allāh knows the best.
