Q: What is required of women who begin fasting Ramadan without making up days missed from previous Ramadan? A: They are required to turn to Allah in sincere repentance, for what they have done is not permissible. To delay making up missed days until after the following Ramadan without a valid excuse. Aishah (R.A) said, sometimes I would not be able to make up for days missed in Ramadan until the month of shaban. This indicates that it is not allowed to delay making up missed days until after the following Ramadan. Those who have done so should repent, make up the missed days after Ramadan and not repeat this prohibited practice.
