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

Sa’ad ibn Abdullah, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Abbad ibn Sulayman, from Sa’ad ibn Sa’ad, from a man, from Abu al-Hasan عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said: I (narrator) asked Imam عليه السلام about ‘a man who is sick in the month of Ramadan, then recovers after that, but delays the making up for a year, or less than that, or more. What is upon him in that?’ Imam عليه السلام said: “I like for him to hasten the fasting, but if he has delayed it, then there is nothing upon him.”
