The imams have agreed that what is obligatory in making up for is to fast a number of days equal to the days missed, based on the Almighty's saying: ﴿And whoever is ill or on a journey – then an equal number of other days.﴾ There is no condition for these days to be consecutive; it is permissible to fast them consecutively or separately.
