Making qadha due to eating sehri after fajr time sets in

· 21 Dhuʻl-Qiʻdah 1437 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

On the first day of Ramadhaan I did not know about the 18 degrees fajr time so I ate suhoor after fajr entered according to 18 degrees fajr time. After the first day I found out about the 18 degrees fajr time and how its more accurate than 15 degrees so I started following that after the first day. Regarding that first day, since I did not know about the 18 degrees fajr time, do I have to make it up? And do I have to make it up immediately after Ramadhaan or any time up until the next Ramadhaan?

Answer

If you are sure that you commenced the fast after the time had entered, then you should keep qadha for that fast. You may keep the qadha anytime after Ramadhaan.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
