The Answer

Dear Brother / Sister,

There is no certain time for the performance of the fasts that were missed. However, it is necessary to perform them as soon as possible because it is not definite when a person will die. As those who die without making up for the fasts they missed will be indebted; they will be responsible. In order to be free from the debt, they should perform fasting immediately.

A person should fast for the days he has missed by estimating the days. He can complete his fasting by fasting on Mondays and Thursdays or every other day easily.

Nevertheless, except the first four days of the Feast of the Sacrifice and the first day of the Ramadan Feast, it is permissible to fast on every day of the year.
