Is it permissible not to make up for missed fasting days in Ramadan due to the prohibition of the father who provides financial support?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A menstruating woman must make up the fasts she missed, by consensus, and paying money does not suffice. What your father paid does not waive the obligation to make up the fasts. You must count the days you missed and have not made up, and then make them all up. You should have made up the fasts and not obeyed your father in abandoning them, even if it meant doing so without his knowledge or trying to convince him, because delaying making up theasts until the next Ramadan is not permissible according to the majority of scholars. If you were coerced into not making up the fasts, there is no sin upon you. However, according to the majority of scholars, you must feed a poor person for each day that its make-up was delayed, in addition to making up the fasts, unless you were unaware of the impermissibility of delaying the make-up, in which case there is nothing upon you.
