The ruling on fasting half a month and breaking the fast for the other half
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh, if someone fasts, for example, half a month—fifteen days in a row—and then breaks the fast for fifteen days, Shaykh, is it considered that he fasted one day and broke the fast for one day, Shaykh?
Answer:
No, he fasted half a month. That means he divided the month into two parts, fasted half of it, and broke the fast for the other half. This is one form of fasting and breaking the fast, but it is not like the one who fasts one day and breaks the fast for one day.
