Have You Paid Your Last Or Previous Years Missed Ramadan Fasting? Part 1 by Kunlexity(m): 6:58pm On Jun 09, 2015
Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem.
Let's note that it is not permissible to intentionally or lazily delay your missed days of fasting from previous Ramadan till this time unless with legitimate permissible reasons which every Muslim must learn about. Allah will not accept any mistakes we do due to lack of knowledge. We must learn or ask the learned brothers and sisters before we act in Islam don't act ignorantly especially when it comes to acts of worship like Fasting.I will summarise base on Quran , Sunnah and Consensus of scholars teaching.

First of all, be aware that it is NOT permissible to feed the poor during Ramadan for your missed days except those who cannot fast permanently due to old age or perminent illness such as stomach cancer etc which professional doctors has confirmed you cannot fast permanently. If there is any hope of fasting in the near future then feeding the poor is not necessary and even if you feed the poor each day you must still pay for your missed days of fasting as soon as you are well to fast. For those who fall under the category of not been able to fast permanently, then just consider good amount of food or money that can be sufficient for full day meal and give it out to the poor on daily basis or calculate for the 29/30 days fasting and give its equivalent in food or cash to the poor person(s).

With regard to breastfeeding mothers and also pregnant women, two scenarios may apply: 

-1- If the woman is not affected by fasting, and fasting is not too difficult for her, and she does not fear for her child, then she is obliged to fast, and it is not permissible for her not to fast. Allah didn't say Pregnant/Breastfeeding mothers should not fast. It is an offer giving for those mothers who cannot fast due to difficulties they face but not all mothers face such difficulties so access yourself and act solely to please Allah.

-2- If the woman fears for herself or her child because of fasting, and fasting is difficult for her, then she is allowed not to fast, but she has to make up the days that she does not fast. In this situation it is better for her not to fast, and it is makrooh (dislike) for her to fast. Some of the scholars stated that if she fears for her child, it is obligatory for her not to fast and it is haraam for her to fast. She should not feed for this reason unless if she does so as an act of sadaqa but her debt remains to be paid through fasting. Even if you missed last two years fasting etc they all remain on you to Allah even if you fed the poor daily. May Almighty Allah help us all to soley fast for his sake....Aamin
