Breaking Fast on some days with no valid legal excuse

696

Q: Seven years ago, when I was about sixteen or seventeen years old, I used to fast in Ramadan. But, I remember that I had broken my Fast on some days with no valid legal excuse. Thereupon, I regularly observe the Fast in the whole month of Ramadan. What is the ruling on the days of fast I had missed?

A: You are obliged to make up for the days that you did not fast with no valid legal excuse. You must also turn to Allah in repentance and ask Him to forgive your sin. You are also required to feed a Miskin (needy person) for each day you had missed, because you delayed making up for the days you missed until some time later.
