What is the ruling on one who breaks his fast while making up a missed fast

Question:
May Allah grant you success. A person had a missed fast from Ramadan that he had to make up, so he began fasting it. He started fasting this day and was abstaining until after the midday prayer, then he broke his fast because a relative of ours came, saying, “I must honor him, and I will make up this day.” He has already broken his fast for this day. Does that count as a valid fast?

Answer:
Breaking his fast is forbidden for him. One who enters into an obligatory fast that has a wide time frame is forbidden from breaking it, or one who enters into making up a fast from Ramadan is not permitted to break it. So he erred in this. He must not return to such an action. We hope that Allah will accept his repentance because he was ignorant and did not know. Honoring a guest is not done by breaking the fast; he can honor the guest without breaking his fast.
