Timeframe for women to make up missed fasts of Ramadaan

· 26 Rabiʻ II 1446 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

How long is it permissible for a woman to delay making up the missed fasts of Ramadhan due to menses or Nifaas? Is there any time limit? Kindly advise

Answer

There is no time frame for a female to complete the missed fasts of Ramadaan. However, the Fuqaha state that after Ramadaan, she should start making up for the missed fasts of Ramadaan and try to complete them as soon possible.

She is permitted to complete them one after the other all at once or one at a time according to what is convenient for her.

Some Ulama advise that a woman should try to complete her missed fasts prior to the commencement of the next Ramadaan which is also said to be the habit of Sayyidatuna A’aisha Radhiyallahu Anha. [Hindiyyah 1/40 – Mabsoot 3/77 – Al-Inaayah 2/354]

And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
