What is incumbent upon one who has not made up for missed fasts for years and does not know the number of days owed?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Making up missed fasts is obligatory. Whoever delays it without a valid excuse until the next Ramadan begins commits a sin. It is necessary to repent to Allah for the delay and to make up those days. If you do not know the exact number of days, you must estimate them and make up what you believe, most likely, will clear your conscience.
