Missing a fast at the start of Ramadaan due to Safr
Question
A person undertakes a journey when Ramadaan had commenced in his country. However, he didn’t fast due to being a Musaafir. Will he have to keep Qadhaa of the missed fast after Ramadaan?
Answer
From the manner in which your query has been posed, we understand that the person undertook a journey on the day that Ramadaan commenced in his country, but didn’t fast on the first day of Ramadaan due to being a Musaafir.
If this is the case, then yes, the person will have to keep Qadha of the missed fast after the month of Ramadaan passes, since fasting was already obligatory upon him in his country.
