The ruling on breaking a vow of fasting due to the husband's coercion
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says that she vowed to fast for ten consecutive days, and on the seventh day she says her husband forced her to break her fast, so she did. What should she do?
Answer:
It is not permissible for your husband to force you to break your fast, and it is not permissible for you to break it; because this is an obligatory fast, and whoever enters into an obligatory fast is forbidden from breaking it. This applies only to voluntary fasting. As for an obligatory fast, whoever enters into it is required to complete and finish it. So he erred in this, and the consecutiveness was broken, so it is necessary to repeat the days from the beginning. Yes.
