Breaking fast on 75 days in Ramadan

Q: My seventy-five-year-old mother broke her fast and has 75 missed days of fast. Please advise us about what she should do. Is it sufficient for her to make up for these missed days, feed the poor, or do both?


A: Your mother must make up for her missed days of fast if she is able to do. She must give 1.5 kg of food to a poor person for each day she missed, because she delayed making up for her missed days of fast. If she cannot make up for (Part No. 9; Page No. 280) the missed days of fast because of old age or an incurable illness, then it is sufficient for her to feed a poor person as mentioned above.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
