Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: My brother passed away, and he owed an expiation for accidental killing. I began fasting on his behalf on a Monday in the last Dhu al-Hijjah, and today I was ill, with severe stomach pain, and I received some painkillers by intravenous injection in the hospital emergency room. Is my fast valid or not, do I continue or not, and what is the last day of my fasting?
Answer:
Breaking the fast for the sake of illness does not break the consecutiveness. If you break the fast for the sake of illness or for the sake of travel, and the breaking is permitted by the Shari'ah, then it does not break the consecutiveness, just as breaking the fast for illness or breaking the fast for travel does not. If you were ill during the month of Ramadan, which[Al-Baqarah 2:185].
Allah has specifically permitted the sick person and the traveler to break the fast in Ramadan, and likewise to break the fast in the expiatory fast, and this does not break the consecutiveness. Rather, he continues his fasting; the day he broke the fast is invalidated, and he builds upon what came before and completes his fasting, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
Likewise, the obligatory breaking of the fast for the sake of the festival, because fasting on the festival day is forbidden, and the breaking of the fast by the menstruating woman, this is an obligatory breaking, and it does not break the consecutiveness. The obligatory breaking does not break the consecutiveness, and likewise the breaking that is permitted by the Shari'ah does not break the consecutiveness.

So whoever sights [the new moon of] the month, let him fast it; and whoever is ill or on a journey - then an equal number of other days.
فَمَن شَهِدَ مِنكُمُ الشَّهْرَ فَلْيَصُمْهُ وَمَن كَانَ مَرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِّنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَAllah has specifically permitted the sick person and the traveler to break the fast in Ramadan, and likewise to break the fast in the expiatory fast, and this does not break the consecutiveness.
