Grand Ayatollah Makarem: An Infidel who Embraces Islam before Zuhr (Noon) Adhan

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Issue No. 1331- If a non-Muslim embraces Islam in the month of Ramadhan before Zuhr (noon), he should, on the basis of obligatory precaution, observe fast if he has not committed any act which would make a fast void. He is not under the obligation to perform any qadha (lapse) of fasts. Similarly, if a patient recovers from his illness before Zuhr (noon) in the month of Ramadhan and has not committed any act which invalidates the fast, he should make an intention to observe fast and he should also, as a precaution, give the qadha (lapse) of the fast. But if he recovers after Zuhr (noon), it is not obligatory for him to observe fast on that day. He should observe its qadha only./129
