Should the one who fasts upon receiving the news of the beginning of Ramadan during the daytime make up for this day?


388

Q 2: Should a person, who starts the fast upon receiving the news of the beginning of the Month of Ramadan during the day time, make up for this day? Some people argue for this ruling by referring to the Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in which he says: Whoever has not resolved the intention during the night to fast the following day, his Sawm (Fast) is null or as he (peace be upon him) said. And what is the ruling on the one who has not started the fast upon receiving the announcement (Part No. 9; Page No. 14) of the beginning of Ramadan? Is he obligated to make up for this day and offer expiation?


A: Whoever has received the news of the beginning of the Month of Ramadan during the day time must complete the fast the rest of the day, by the way of honoring the month. He then must make up for this day, since he has not actually fasted it from the beginning.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
