B Watch me, then you4 min

Sara is ill for two days in Ramadan. She gets better before the next Ramadan. What must she do?

Watch me

Illness is a genuine reason to miss a fast.

Sara misses 2 days, so she must make them up.

Making up missed fasts later is qada.

Fasting: Who Makes Up What · 2 minutes to read

Answers, and what a wrong one tells you

A

1. Tabligh

2. People of Madyan

3. Jama'ah

B

1. Qada Fidyah is for someone who can never make up the fasts. Tariq can make them up later, so the answer is qada. Ask your child whether the fasts can still be made up.

C

1. Qada Fidyah is for someone who will never be able to make up the fasts. Ask your child whether this man gets better before the next Ramadan.

2. Fidyah Qada needs a chance to fast later. This man will never be able to fast, so he gives fidyah. Ask your child what would change if the fasts could be made up later.

3. Kaffarah If your child circles Qada, explain that Adam does make up the day, but the Hanafi school adds kaffarah for breaking a fast on purpose. Ask what made Adam's case different.

4. Look for: Says he owes nothing, because children who have not reached puberty do not have to fast. If your child writes qada, ask: does Yusuf have to fast yet? Fasting becomes a duty at puberty, so a young child owes nothing.

D

1. Look for: Says no, and gives the reason that forgetting is not deliberate, so kaffarah does not apply. Kit thinks any broken fast needs kaffarah. Kaffarah is only for breaking a fast on purpose without a reason. Ask your child whether Ali chose to eat.

E

1. Look for: Says that feeding the poor connects the person with others in the community and shows care or shared responsibility.

Words to use

Say“Who is this person, and did they miss the fast for a reason, or choose to break it?”

Instead of“Just tell them the answer.”

After the sheet

Lay three cups on the table and label them Qada, Fidyah and Kaffarah. Read a made-up case aloud, such as a woman with flu for three days, and ask which cup it goes in.

Tick what your child got right in StudyDen. Anything missed comes back in a later Look back box, so there's no need to redo the sheet.
