If One Cannot Perform Qadha Fast untill the Next Ramadan
Issue No. 1433- If a person does not fast in the month of Ramadan due to illness and his illness continues till the next Ramadan, it is not obligatory on him to observe qaḍā of the fasts which he had not observed, but for each fast he should give one mudd (750 grams) of wheat, barley, etc., to an indigent person. However, if he did not observe fast owing to some other excuse, like travelling, and his excuse continued till the next Ramadan, the obligatory precaution is that he should observe the unperformed fasts after Ramadan and for each day he should give one mudd of food to an indigent person. The same ruling applies if a person did not observe fast due to illness and later his illness ended, but another excuse takes place, such as travelling.
