I usually fast on Monday, Thursday,

Q: Kindly, be informed that I was a soldier in the Saudi forces located in Najran in 1389 AH. When the problem of Sharurah occurred during the Ramadan of that year, we were commanded to travel from Najran to Sharurah starting from the 17 th of Ramadan. We were in conditions that made us break our Sawm for the remaining days of Ramadan totaling 14 days. Out of ignorance, I did not make up for these days until now. In addition, I broke Sawm on many separate days of Ramadan in the years following 1389 A.H. I performed the obligatory Hajj in 1397 A.H. I never broke my Sawm in Ramadan after that year except when it was necessary and when I broke my Sawm on any day, I made up for it. Should I make up for the missed fasts of the past years? What is the ruling on my performance of Hajj?

(Part No. 10; Page No. 349) A: Firstly: If the reality is as you mentioned, you are obliged to make up for the missed fasts you remember and to exert all your efforts in trying to calculate these days as much as you can. Moreover, you should feed one poor person for each day due to delaying making up for these days by the following Ramadan.Second: The validity of Hajj is not affected by breaking Sawm.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
