When making up your fasts do you usually do it right after Eid during Shawwal or later on in the year?

Answer 1

Asalam Alaikum
It depends on how much I have to make up. If I just have my period days to make up I do them right away so I can fast the 6 Sunnah days of Shawwal. This year I missed all of Ramadan do to being pregnant and then having the miscarriage. So I owe the whole 29 days. I have fasted 14 days so far alhumdillah. I think it is best to fast them as soon as possible as you don't want to die owing days. I also keep my husband informed of how many days I owe as if something happens to me I asked him to fast the remaining days on my behalf, inshaAllah he said he would.

Answer 2

Making up days of Ramadan can become... complicated. It is a personal choice when to make up the days of Ramadan though I have seen in above posts that people are making up days because of travel/hardship/menstration/sickness(disease)... etc....

The Prophet instructs us these days do not need to be made up but rather one can give to the poor on these days. I too have a disease where I am supposed to eat at regular intervals (to make my medicine work) and I can usually work around the times when I take my medicine and therefore am able to fast.

When I do need to eat during the day (not feeling well enough to go the whole day) I donate money to a worthy cause (charity) and also do the same at the end of Ramadan during Eid al'Fitr.

Remembering WHY is is we fast (to become closer with God) is more important than the act of doing it itself. Fasting should not be a time of suffering but a time of reflection and celebration.

And complete the pilgrimage and the Umrah for the sake of Allah; but if you are kept back, then make whatever offering is easily available; and do not shave your heads until the offering reaches its destination. And whoever among you is sick or has an ailment of the head, should make and expiation either by fasting or almsgiving, or a sacrifice. But when you are safe, then he, who would avail himself of the Umrah together with the Pilgrimage, should make whatever offering is easily obtainable. But such of you as cannot find an offering should fast three days during the Pilgrimage, and seven when you return home; these are ten complete. This is for him whose family does not reside near the Sacred Mosque. And fear Allah and know that Allah is severe in punishing.
