Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling if a man who pronounced zihar against his wife had intercourse with her while making up the expiation for fasting? Does he restart the fasting or continue from where he left off?
Answer:
Without a doubt, he must restart it, because he has invalidated his fasting. Allah said two consecutive months, and he broke that continuity, so he starts over from the beginning before they have intercourse. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Mujadila 58:4].

a fast for two months consecutively before they touch one another
فَصِيَامُ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَتَمَاسَّا
