Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "After half of Sha'ban has passed, one should not fast until Ramadan comes, except for the person upon whom (make-up or expiatory) fasts of Ramadan are obligatory; he may fast, and he should not abandon his routine." The narrator named Abdur Rahman bin Ibrahim is weak.

Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever has a fast of Ramadan due upon him, he should continue it and complete the fast (and not leave it in between)."

Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding making up missed fasts of Ramadan: "A person should observe them consecutively and not separate them." The narrator of this narration, Abdur Rahman bin Ibrahim, is weak.

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: This verse was revealed: "Then its counting will be in other days which will be consecutive." After that, the word "consecutive" was omitted. Its chain of narration is authentic, and the chain of narration of the following narration is also authentic.

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: This verse was revealed: "Then its counting will be in other days which will be consecutive." After that, the word "consecutive" was omitted. The mention of its omission has been made by Urwah (may Allah have mercy on him).

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about making up missed fasts of Ramadan, so he (peace be upon him) said: "The fasting person will make them up consecutively, but if he separates them in between, then doing so is permissible for him." The narrator of this narration, Waqidi, is weak.

Abu Amir Huzni narrates: I heard Sayyiduna Abu Ubaidah bin Jarrah (may Allah be pleased with him). He was asked about making up missed fasts of Ramadan. He said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty has not given you this concession, so do not keep these fasts, nor does He want you to be put to hardship regarding their making up. Therefore, count the number (of missed fasts) and keep them as you wish."

Abu Amir Huzni reports: I heard Sayyiduna Abu Ubaidah bin Jarrah (may Allah be pleased with him), he was asked about making up missed fasts of Ramadan separately, so he said: "Count the number and fast as you wish."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) regarding the making up of missed fasts of Ramadan: (He says) "You may keep them as you wish." Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) says: "You will keep the fasts in the same manner as you missed them (in the month of Ramadan)."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas and Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with them) stated: "There is no harm in making up missed fasts of Ramadan separately."
