Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner asks: Is consecutiveness required in the fasting for the expiation of an oath?
Answer:
Yes. What Allah has specified as consecutive is the fasting of two consecutive months; Allah has specified consecutiveness there, so consecutiveness is required. As for what has not been specified as consecutive, such as the expiation of an oath, which is fasting for three days, consecutiveness is not required in it, except according to some scholars who report a reading of "fasting for three consecutive days." However, this reading has not been established. Yes.
