Fasting Ramadan
Fasting the month of Ramadan is the fourth pillar of Islam, obligatory on every adult Muslim who is able. Allah says: 'Whoever among you is ill or on a journey, then an equal number of other days' (Surah al-Baqarah 2:185). Keeping a simple record helps you stay consistent and know exactly how many days you still owe.
Making up missed fasts (Qadha)
A fast missed for a valid reason - illness, travel, menstruation, pregnancy or nursing - is made up later, one day for each day missed, before the next Ramadan if possible. Mark such a day as missed here, then increase your make-up count as you complete each one.
When fasting is not possible (Fidya)
Someone who cannot fast permanently, such as the chronically ill or the very elderly, does not make up the days but instead pays fidya - feeding a needy person for each missed day. If this applies to you, consult a scholar for your situation; this tracker is for counting fasts and make-ups, not a ruling.
