YOGYAKARTA - There are some conditions that allow a person not to fast, such as illness, traveling far away, or getting pregnant. For those who cannot fast, it is mandatory to replace the fast on other days outside the month of Ramadan.

So, how long is the time for fasting to replace Ramadan? Is it permissible to fast Ramadan in the month of Syawal? What if you don't have time to fast Ramadan until the next Ramadan?

This article will discuss in full the limit of fasting times in lieu of Ramadan, along with related laws, and other things to know.

Reporting from the NU Online page, the Moon of Sya'ban, which was right before Ramadan, is a reminder for Muslims to fulfill unfinished obligations, including replacing missed fasting.

However, those who still have a fasting debt, either due to illness, travel, or other reasons, are advised to pay off it immediately before Ramadan arrives.

However, questions arise regarding the time limit for the replacement of fasting in the month of Sya'ban. Is there a certain time limit that must be obeyed?

Responding to this, Deputy Secretary of the Bahtsul Masail Institute for the Executive Board of Nahdlatul Ulama (LBM PBNU), Alhafiz Kurniawan, explained that there is no special time limit to replace the fasting debt in the month of Sya'ban.

That is, someone who has a fasting debt due to age such as illness is allowed to perform or change his fast until the end of the month of Sya'ban.

Nevertheless, Alhafiz also said that some scholars had different views.

Some scholars forbid the replacement of fasting after the middle of the month of Sya'ban (Nisfu Sya'ban). This is done as an anticipatory measure so as not to get too close to the month of Ramadan.

Thus, there is no definite time limit to replace the Ramadan fasting debt in the month of Sya'ban. However, it is better if the replacement of fasting is done before Nisfu Sya'ban to avoid differences of opinion and become a preparation for the month of Ramadan.

Still from the same source, according to Syekh Sulaiman Al-Bujairimi in Hasyiyatul Iqna', the legal requirement for fasting (both Ramadan fasting and other fasting such as qadha or nadzar) is with tabyitun niyah, which is the intention made at night.

This is based on the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad which reads,

You can't help it, you can't believe it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't.

Whoever has no intention of fasting before dawn, then the fasting is invalid. Therefore, the intention of fasting must be done every day before dawn, as stated in the hadith. (See Sheikh Sulaiman Al-Bujairimi, Hasyiyatul Iqna , [Darul Fikr, Beirut: 2007 M/1428 H], juz II).

The following is a pronunciation of the intention to carry out Ramadan fasting qadha:

You can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't.

Nawaitu shauma ghadin an qadh wadhI fardhi syahri Ramadhna lillmenhi ta

Meaning: 'I intend to fast Ramadan tomorrow because of Allah SWT.'
