Does fasting the month of Ramadan break the consecutiveness in the fasting of expiation?

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a person has to fast two consecutive months as an expiation.

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The questioner:
If a person has to fast two consecutive months as an expiation, and the month of Ramadan comes upon him, does he complete the two months after Ramadan, or does he start over from the beginning, because the consecutiveness has been broken?

The Shaykh:
It does not break the consecutiveness. Fasting an obligatory fast does not break the consecutiveness, and breaking an obligatory fast also does not break the consecutiveness. Breaking the fast on the two festivals, or for a menstruating woman or a woman with post-natal bleeding, this does not break the consecutiveness. He builds upon what came before when the obstacle is removed, and he completes it. Yes.

The presenter:
He says: Honorable Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
Breaking an obligatory fast or fasting an obligatory fast does not break it. Yes.
