Should the woman who was injured by fire make up for the missed days of Sawm?
A:
Your wife should
perform compensatory Sawm for the days she broke her Sawm in (Part No. 9; Page No. 96) Ramadan. However, if she delayed it until another Ramadan passes without an excuse, she should perform Kaffarah (expiation) in addition to compensatory Sawm by feeding a Miskin the equivalent of half a Sa` (1 Sa` = 3 kg. Approx.) of wheat, rice, etc. Of the staple food of your country, for every day of Sawm she broke.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
