Does one who breaks his fast to save an innocent person have to abstain for the rest of the day?

Question : What do you say about one who breaks his fast to save an innocent person? Does he have to abstain for the rest of the day?

Answer : He broke his fast to save an innocent person, meaning, for example, he saw a person drowning in water and could not save him from drowning unless he broke his fast, so he broke it and then saved him. According to the stronger position, he is not required to abstain, because he broke his fast for a permissible reason.
