Is it permissible to intentionally break the fast of qada' (making up a missed act of worship) in the middle of it without an excuse?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this is a woman asking, and she says: I was fasting the fast of qada' (making up a missed act of worship), and in the middle of the day I ate out of my own desire and choice, without an excuse. So, is there a sin on me for that?
The Shaykh:
Meaning, she broke the fast.
The questioner:
Making up Ramadan, yes.
The Shaykh:
No, the obligatory fast is not permissible for a person to break if he has started it; it is not permissible for him to break it. But the voluntary fast is the one that is permissible for a person to break and eat. The obligatory fast, once he has started it, he must complete it, except in the case of an excuse that necessitates breaking the fast. Yes.
