Menstruating or newly delivered women delaying making up for the missed days of Ramadan

Q: Some women do not make up for the days of fasting they have missed in the month of Ramadan until some years later. For instance, a woman may happen not to fast the month of Ramadan of 1410 A.H due to illness or being in postpartum period. She postpones making up for this Ramadan until after Ramadan of 1411 AH. Other women do not make up for the days they missed at all. They give Sadaqah (voluntary charity) instead of fasting. I hope Your Eminence will guide us towards the right view in this regard. May Allah's Peace, Mercy, and Blessings be upon you. (Part No. 9; Page No. 45

A: First: If a woman breaks her fasting during Ramadan on account of menstruating, being in postpartum period, or falling ill, she will be required to make up for the days of fasting she had missed after Ramadan is over. This is provided that her condition has changed and the legal excuse for which she broke the fast is cleared. Second: If the valid legal excuse which prevented her from fasting remains until the next Ramadan comes, then she is still required to make up for the days she missed once the legal excuse is over. However, if the excuse is over, yet she delays making up for the days she had missed until after two Ramadans have passed, then she will be required to make up for the days she had missed along with making Kaffarah (expiation). The Kaffarah includes feeding a poor person for each day.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
