Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if one intentionally abandons fasting in Ramadan without an excuse, then repents and makes up the fasts, is an expiation required of him?
Answer:
He must make up the fasts, unless he had sexual intercourse. If he engaged in sexual intercourse, an expiation becomes obligatory upon him. However, if he broke his fast by eating and drinking, he only has to make up the fasts, along with repentance to Allah the Exalted. Yes.
