1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn Ahmad ibn ‘Ashyam from Sulayman ibn Ja’far al- Ja’fariy who has said the following: “I asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.) about a man who owes several days of fast of the month of Ramadan. Can he make Qada’ (compensatory fast) in different times?“ He (the Imam) replied, “It is not harmful to fast Qada’ (compensatory fast) for the fast of the month of Ramadan in different times. The fast that cannot be kept in different times is the fast as expiation because of al-Dhihar (calling one’s wife’s back as one’s mother’s back), the fast as expiation because of blood (committing murder) and the fast as expiation because of disregarding an oath and swearing up on the names of Allah.’”

He (the Imam) said, It is not harmful if he keeps the number of days without missing.’”

If he is not able to do so, he then is required to complete its Qada’ (compensatory fast) in a way he can complete. He must keep the number of days clear and without confusion. Fasting in different times is valid as well as in continued order.’”
