Does breaking the fast while traveling or due to illness interrupt the consecutiveness of the expiation fast?

Question:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does traveling or illness interrupt the consecutiveness of the two-month fast for expiation?

Answer:
The consecutiveness is not interrupted; neither traveling nor illness interrupts it. One breaks the fast due to illness and breaks the fast due to traveling, and this does not interrupt the consecutiveness. It is not interrupted by an obligatory breaking of the fast, such as menstruation, nor by an obligatory fast, such as Ramadan. It is not interrupted by a permissible excuse, such as traveling or illness. He continues after the excuse is removed; he continues and builds upon what came before. Yes. He says: Even if he traveled for the sake of breaking the fast. That is a matter between him and his conscience; it is not our concern. The important thing is that he is a traveler. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, granted a dispensation to the traveler to break his fast. As for his intention being such and such, that is for Allah to hold him accountable. Yes.
