Are the voluntary days that the questioner fasted counted as making up for the days he missed in Ramadan due to illness, and what is obligatory upon him?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The days you fasted with the intention of a supererogatory (nafl) fast are not considered make-up (qada') for obligatory fasting, due to the absence of the intention for make-up. It would have been better to prioritize making up the obligatory fasts before volunteering for supererogatory ones, and before the arrival of another . You must repent to Allah for delaying the make-up. You should make up the days you missed fasting and feed a poor person for each day as expiation for the delay without a valid excuse. This is the opinion of the majority of scholars.
