What is the ruling on postponing making up for missed fasts until after the following Ramadan, and is it permissible to postpone expiation (kaffara) as well?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible to delay making up for missed fasts until the next Ramadan without a valid excuse. Whoever intentionally does so is sinful and is obligated to offer an expiation for the delay along with making up the fasts. They must make up the fasts before the advent of the next Ramadan. The (expiatory feeding) does not multiply with repeated delays.
