The Effect of the Festival Day Coinciding with the Consecutive Fasting for Expiation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, asks about expiation and fasting two consecutive months: if the festival day 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:
We are going to answer to confirm.
The questioner:
Expiation.
The Shaykh:
Expiation, yes.
The questioner:
Fasting two consecutive months if the festival day falls on one of the days.
The Shaykh:
It does not break the consecutiveness, neither the obligatory breaking of the fast nor the obligatory fasting. The obligatory breaking of the fast is like the days of the festival and the days of Eid; these do not break the consecutiveness. Nor does the obligatory fasting, like Ramadan; if Ramadan comes 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, the permitted breaking of the fast, such as due to illness or travel, does not break the consecutiveness, because it is permitted by the Shari'ah. Yes.
