Summary
Missed Ramadan fasts may be made up at any time of the year before the next Ramadan, except on days when fasting is prohibited. It is nevertheless recommended to make them up promptly when there is no obstacle, as one may run out of time before the next Ramadan arrives. A person who delays without a valid excuse until the next Ramadan begins is sinful, and must make up the fasts and pay a fidyah of one mudd of staple food for each day.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Dibolehkan untuk menggantikan puasa pada bila-bila masa sepanjang tahun kecuali pada hari yang diharamkan berpuasa.
