Making up Ramadan before voluntary fasting in the ten days
There are no days in which it is more beloved to me to make up the month of Ramadan than the ten days.
8395 He said: Sufyan narrated to us: Uthman ibn Mawhab narrated to us: I heard Abu Hurayrah, and a man asked him, saying, "I owe Ramadan, and I want to perform voluntary fasting during the ten days." He said, "No. Rather, begin with the right of Allah ﷻ and make it up; then perform voluntary acts afterward as much as you wish."
أَنَّ عُمَرَ ؓ قَالَ مَا مِنْ أَيَّامٍ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ أَنْ أَقْضِيَ فِيهَا شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ مِنْ أَيَّامِ الْعَشْرِ.
8395 قَالَ: وَحَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مَوْهَبٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، وَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ عَلَيَّ رَمَضَانَ، وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَتَطَوَّعَ فِي الْعَشْرِ، قَالَ: لَا بَلِ ابْدَأْ بِحَقِّ اللهِ فَاقْضِهِ، ثُمَّ تَطَوَّعْ بَعْدُ مَا شِئْتَ.
[AI] Ali said, "Do not fast in the month of Dhu al-Hijjah and do not observe fasting on Fridays, as I believe it to be unique. Also, do not perform the Tahajjud prayer while you are fasting." It has also been narrated from Al-Hasan that Ali disliked making up missed fasts during the first ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah. This is because he used to see the consecutive making up of fasts as two separate narrations. So, if what is obligatory upon a person to make up exceeds nine days, the consecutive making up is interrupted by the day of sacrifice and the days of Tashreeq.
قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ لَا تَقْضِ رَمَضَانَ فِي ذِي الْحِجَّةِ وَلَا تَصُمْ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ أَظُنُّهُ مُنْفَرِدًا وَلَا تَحْتَجِمْ وَأَنْتَ صَائِمٌ وَرُوِيَ أَيْضًا عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ؓ فِي كَرَاهِيَةِ الْقَضَاءِ فِي الْعَشْرِ وَهَذَا لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَرَى قَضَاءَهُ فِي إِحْدَى الرِّوَايَتَيْنِ عَنْهُ مُتَتَابِعًا فَإِذَا زَادَ مَا وَجَبَ عَلَيْهِ قَضَاؤُهُ عَلَى تِسْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ انْقَطَعَ تَتَابُعُهُ بِيَوْمِ النَّحْرِ وَأَيَّامِ التَّشْرِيقِ
