Question:
He asks: Is it obligatory to complete an obligatory fast that is not specified by a time, such as an expiation or making up a fast from Ramadan, or is it permissible for him to break the fast on that day and perform another day in its place?
Answer:
In this matter, be aware: if one fasts an obligatory fast for an expiation, for making up Ramadan, or for a vow, it is obligatory for him to complete the day, and it is not permissible for him to break it, just as it is not permissible to break the fast in Ramadan. This is not permissible. As for the voluntary fast, it is permissible for him to break it. Yes.
