Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen رحمه الله

Devil entering via a Person Yawning

The son of Abu Said al-Khudri reported on the authority of his father that Allaah's Messenger (صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم) said:

Q: If Ramadan comes and someone still has days of Sawm (Fasting) to make up for from the previous Ramadan, are they considered sinful for not having made up the days before the start of the next Ramadan? Do they have to make a Kaffarah (expiation) or not?

Fasting during the month of Sha`baan

Aa’isha رضي الله عنها said:

[al-Bukhari & Muslim]

** Sha`baan is the month before Ramadan
