Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on breaking the fast during the day in Ramadan deliberately and without a reason, with public display, especially among the youth?
Answer:
It is a major sin among the major sins. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: But despite this, he is ordered to make up the fast, yet he has committed a great matter, and there is no power or might except with Allah. But whoever repents, Allah accepts his repentance, [Taha 20:82]. Yes.

Answer:
It is a major sin among the major sins. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Whoever breaks the fast on a day in Ramadan without an excuse, fasting for the rest of his life will not compensate for it, even if he does fast.
من أفطر يوما من رمضان من غير عذر لم يجزه صيام الدهر ولو صام،But indeed, I am the Perpetual Forgiver of whoever repents and believes and does righteousness and then continues in guidance.
وَإِنِّي لَغَفَّارٌ لِّمَن تَابَ وَآمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا ثُمَّ اهْتَدَىٰ
