Q & A

What is the importance of replacing missed Ramadan fasts according to Imam Nawawi?

Imam Nawawi emphasizes that if a person deliberately delays replacing their missed Ramadan fasts without a valid excuse, they are required to make up the fasts before the next Ramadan. They cannot simply pay a fidyah (compensation), and the obligation to replace the fast remains.

Can a person pay fidyah instead of replacing missed fasts if they delay it for a long time?

No, paying fidyah is not an acceptable substitute for replacing missed fasts if the person is physically able to fast. The person must replace the fasts, even if they have delayed it for a long time, such as several years.

What does Imam Nawawi's explanation about delaying fasting without an excuse tell us?

Imam Nawawi’s explanation highlights that delaying the replacement of missed fasts without a valid excuse is considered a serious neglect. Even if the person delays it until the next Ramadan, they are still obliged to make up for the missed fasts and cannot escape this obligation by paying fidyah.

What does 'rukhsah' refer to in the context of fasting?

'Rukhsah' refers to a concession or exemption, allowing someone to not fast if they are ill or traveling. However, even if someone is granted rukhsah, they are still required to make up the missed fasts once they recover or return from their travel.

Is it permissible to replace missed Ramadan fasts non-consecutively?

Yes, it is permissible to replace missed Ramadan fasts non-consecutively if a person is unable to fast consecutively due to health or other valid reasons. They can distribute the fasts over several months, as long as they complete the required number of fasts.

What is the preferred practice for replacing missed fasts according to Syekh Nawawi Albantani?

The preferred practice is to replace missed Ramadan fasts consecutively, as it is considered a sunnah (recommended practice) to do so. However, if a person cannot manage this due to health or other reasons, they can fast non-consecutively.

How should someone who has missed 60 or more fasts approach making them up?

A person who has missed 60 or more fasts can replace them non-consecutively by fasting a few days each month. For example, fasting 6 days each month for 10 months will fulfill the obligation of 60 fasts.

What happens if a person continuously delays replacing their missed fasts?

If a person delays replacing their missed fasts until the following Ramadan, they are still obligated to replace those fasts. The delay does not negate their responsibility, and they are required to make up the missed fasts without paying fidyah.

What role does health play in determining whether a person needs to replace missed fasts?

Health plays a significant role in whether someone needs to replace missed fasts. If a person is ill or unable to fast due to health reasons, they are given an exemption (rukhsah). However, they must still make up the missed fasts once they recover.

How does the concept of 'uzur' affect the obligation to replace missed fasts?

The concept of 'uzur' (excuse) refers to valid reasons such as illness or travel that allow a person to skip fasting during Ramadan. In such cases, the person must make up for the missed fasts once the excuse is no longer valid.
