The Impact of the Festival and the Days of Tashriq on the Consecutiveness of Fasting for Expiation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says: Regarding expiation and fasting two consecutive months, if the day of the festival falls on one of the days of the two months, does it break the consecutiveness or not?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
He says: In the case of expiation by fasting two consecutive months, if the festival day falls on one of the days.
The Shaykh:
At the takbir.
The questioner:
Expiation.
The Shaykh:
Expiation, yes.
The questioner:
By fasting two consecutive months, if the day of the festival falls on one of the days.
The Shaykh:
It does not break the consecutiveness, neither obligatory breaking of the fast nor obligatory fasting. Obligatory breaking of the fast is like the days of the festival and the days of menstruation; these do not break the consecutiveness. Nor does obligatory fasting, like Ramadan, if Ramadan enters upon him, he fasts Ramadan, and when Ramadan ends, he continues from where he left off and does not break the consecutiveness, because it is obligatory fasting. Likewise, breaking of the fast that is permitted, such as for illness or travel, this also does not break the consecutiveness, because it is permitted by the Shari'ah. Yes.
The questioner:
Do the days of Tashriq break the consecutiveness?
The Shaykh:
Yes, yes.
The questioner:
The days of Tashriq.
The Shaykh:
Because fasting is forbidden on these days. This is obligatory breaking of the fast on the days of Tashriq; obligatory breaking of the fast does not break the consecutiveness, just like the day of the festival. Yes.
