Brilio.net - Fasting during Ramadan is an obligation for every Muslim who has met the requirements. However, in certain conditions, there are times when someone cannot fast during the month of Ramadan. For example, due to illness, menstruation, breastfeeding, pregnancy, or traveling far. In such situations, Muslims are allowed not to fast, but must replace it on another day that is still in the following months before the next Ramadan arrives. The process of replacing this fast is known as qadha fasting during Ramadan.

Qadha fasting in Ramadan is no less important than the fasting in Ramadan itself. Its implementation must be done seriously and with the right intention. Even though it is done outside the month of Ramadan, qadha fasting still has great rewards and rewards from Allah SWT because it shows the responsibility and obedience of a servant in fulfilling his religious obligations. Therefore, it is important to understand the procedures and prayers recommended in carrying out qadha fasting.

Intention is the main thing in every worship, including qadha fasting. The intention must be carried out from night until before dawn. The following is a reading of the intention to fast instead of Ramadan:

Nawaitu shauma ghadin 'an qadha'i fardhi Ramadhna lillhi ta'l.
Meaning: "I intend to fast tomorrow to replace the obligation of Ramadan because of Allah Ta'ala."

This intention should be read every night before performing qadha fasting. If someone forgets the intention at night, but has not eaten and has not done things that break the fast after dawn, then the intention can still be done in the morning, according to some scholars.

In general, the procedure for fasting in the place of Ramadan is the same as other obligatory fasts. Here are the steps:

1. Intend to fast at night.

Refrain from things that break the fast, from dawn to sunset. Things that break the fast include eating, drinking, sexual intercourse, intentional vomiting, and menstruation/postpartum bleeding for women.

Carry out activities as usual, but it is recommended to increase sunnah worship such as reading the Qur'an, dhikr, and sunnah prayers.

2. Break the fast on time, namely when the sun sets.

Although there is no special prayer required when performing qadha fasting, Muslims are still encouraged to increase their prayers and dhikr in order to receive blessings and forgiveness from Allah SWT. Here are some prayers that can be recited:

Prayer when breaking the fast:

Allahumma laka shumtu wa bika aamantu wa 'alayka tawakkaltu wa 'ala rizqika-aftartu.
Meaning: "O Allah, because of You I fast, in You I believe, in You I put my trust, and with Your sustenance I break my fast."

Prayer for forgiveness:

Rabbi ighfirlii warhamnii, innaka antal tawwaabur rahim.
Meaning: "O my Lord, forgive me and have mercy on me. Indeed, You are the Most Accepting of Repentance and the Most Merciful."
