The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good. Is it obligatory to fast consecutively for the expiation, Shaykh Salih?
The Shaykh:
There is a difference of opinion.
The presenter:
Among the scholars, yes.
The Shaykh:
And the correct view is that it is not permissible to fast consecutively, because Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) did not mention consecutiveness in the verse, but rather He said:[Al-Baqarah 2:196]

Praise be to Allah.
