Question
Does he have to make up the days he missed of Ramadan before he became Muslim?.
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah:
He does not have to make up the days that came before he became Muslim, because at that time the command to fast was not addressed to him. He was not one of the people who are obliged to fast so he is not obliged to make it up. End quote.
