A man ordered his thirteen year old daughter

Q: While traveling during Ramadan, I did not observe Sawm (Fast) on two days. Although I had the intention to make up for these two missed days of Sawm, (Part No. 10; Page No. 337) I did not remember this until next Ramadan. Kindly give me a Fatwa in this regard.


A: If the reality is as you mentioned, you are not sinful for the delay in making up for the missed two days of Sawm until the start of next Ramadan. However, you have to make up for them after Ramadan. It is authentically reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, regarding the Saying of Allah: Allâh burdens not a person beyond his scope. He gets reward for that (good) which he has earned, and he is punished for that (evil) which he has earned. “Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error that Allah responded: "I did (pardon you)." Moreover, the Prophet (peace be upon him) is reported by Muslim in his Sahih as saying: Anyone who forgets that they are fasting and eats or drinks should complete their Sawm, for it is Allah Who fed them and gave them something to drink. (Agreed upon by Al-Bukhari and Muslim)May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and Companions.
