Chapter on One Who Becomes Muslim in Month of Ramadan, and the Ruling of One Who Reaches Puberty in It, and One Who Dies after Having Fasted Part of It or Not Having Fasted Anything from It

And from him, from Ali ibn Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abi Umayr, and Muhammad ibn Ismail, from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan, from Ibn Abi Umayr, from Jamil, from Zurarah, from Abu Ja’far عليه السلام, peace be upon him: (Imam عليه السلام was asked) regarding ‘a man who becomes sick, then the month of Ramadan overtakes him, and it passes from him while he is sick, until another month of Ramadan overtakes him.’ Imam عليه السلام said: “He gives charity for the first, and fasts the second. But if he had recovered in between them and did not fast until another month of Ramadan overtook him, he fasts both of them together and gives charity for the first.”
