The ruling on one who breaks his fast in Ramadan intentionally or out of ignorance

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Nawaf asks from Riyadh. He asks about a person who broke his fast in Ramadan intentionally, and sometimes out of ignorance. What is the ruling in that?

Answer:
It is obligatory to make up the fast along with repentance to Allah. Ignorance does not remove an obligation. Fasting is obligatory; it is a pillar of Islam that ignorance and forgetfulness do not remove. He must repent to Allah for the intentional breaking, and he must make up the fasts for the instances of ignorance and forgetfulness along with the other make-up fasts. Yes.

The presenter:
Yes, may Allah bless you.
