Summary
Delaying the make-up of missed fasts until the next Ramadan is not permitted. The Companions, such as Aisyah, made up their fasts before the next Ramadan arrived. According to the basis of the Shafii school, one who delays must pay one cupak of fidyah for each day in addition to making up the fast. The well-known view in the school is that the fidyah is doubled if delayed over several years, while another view holds that doubling is not required.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Mengqadhakan puasa merentasi tahun sehingga sampai kepada Ramadhan seterusnya tidak dibolehkan.
