Imaam al-Barbahaaree (rahima-hullaah) mentions:
((Do not bear witness for any of the people of Islaam (i.e. that he is a person of Paradise or of the Fire) due to a good or bad deed, since you do not know what his final action before his death will be.
You hope for Allaah's Mercy for him and you fear for him because of his sins.
You do not know what has been destined for him at the time of his death as regards repentance and what Allaah has destined for that time if he dies upon Islaam.
You hope for Allaah's Mercy for him and you fear for him because of his sins)).

Shaykh Rabee ibn Haadee al-Madkhalee said:
"...it has been authentically narrated upon the prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم that he said to Al Ashajj `Abdul Qais: "Indeed you have two qualities that Allaah loves: gentleness and patience.""

Reference: 48 Questions on Ramadaan, Q#: 22 |
If someone embraces Islaam during Ramadaan, is he/she to make up for previous days?
This person is not required to fast previous days because he was in a state of disbelief at that time. He is not to be asked to make up what he has missed in regards to righteous deeds due to the saying of Allaah Ta’aala:
{Say to those who have disbelieved, if they cease (from disbelief), their past will be forgiven.} [Al Anfaal: 38]
Also due to the fact that people used to embrace Islaam during the life of the Messenger of Allaah (صلى الله عليه وسلّم) and he never ordered them to make up what they had missed in terms of fasting, prayers or Zakaat.
However, if someone embraces Islaam during the day in the month of Ramadaan:
1) Should he start fasting and is he to make up for that particular day?
2) Or is he to start fasting without having to make up for that day?
3) Or should he keep eating and drinking without having to either fast or make up for that day?
There is a difference of opinion amongst the scholars in this issue and the most correct opinion is that he should start fasting without having to make up for that particular day (in which he embraced Islaam in), so it is upon him to stop eating and drinking. It is compulsory upon him to fast because he is now considered to be from amongst those who must perform obligatory deeds, and he doesn’t have to make up for that day because before he embraced Islaam he wasn’t from amongst them. Therefore, [his situation] is like that of a child; if he attains puberty during the day it is upon him to fast and he doesn’t have to make up for that day according to the most correct opinion in this issue as well.

ÇáãÑÌÚ: 48 سؤال في رمضان #22 |
|
إذا أسلم رجل بعد مضي أيام من شهر رمضان فهل يطالب بصيام الأيام السابقة؟ |
هذا لا يطالب بصيام الأيام السابقة؛ لأنه كان كافراً فيها. والكافر لا يطالب بقضاء ما فاته من الأعمال الصالحة؛ لقول الله تعالى: {قُل لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ إِن يَنتَهُواْ يُغْفَرْ لَهُمْ مَّا قَدْ سَلَفَ} [الأنفال: 38]. ولأن الناس كانوا يسلمون في عهد الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلّم ولم يكن يأمرهم بقضاء ما فاتهم من صوم، ولا صلاة ولا زكاة. ولكن لو أسلم في أثناء النهار فهل يلزمه الإمساك والقضاء؟ أو الإمساك دون القضاء؟ أو لا يلزمه إمساك ولا قضاء؟
في هذه المسألة خلاف بين أهل العلم، والقول الراجح إنه يلزمه الإمساك دون القضاء، فيلزمه الإمساك لأنه صار من أهل الوجوب ولا يلزمه القضاء، لأنه قبل ذلك ليس من أهل الوجوب. فهو كالصبي إذا بلغ في أثناء النهار فإنه يلزمه الإمساك ولا يلزمه القضاء على القول الراجح في هذه المسألة أيضاً |
