The ruling on one who intentionally breaks his fast in Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And when she fasted, Zayra said: Did you pray the prayer of the prostration? She said: No. She said: Will you fast tomorrow? He said: No. She said: Break your fast. The man was generous. He would come in the morning of Ramadan and he had a satellite dish.
The Shaykh:
How?
The questioner:
A man was generous and spent this earnings because he breaks his fast in Ramadan. Does he have to make up the fast?
The Shaykh:
Yes, the correct ruling is that he must make up the fast. Even if he did it intentionally, he must make up the fast and repent. We ask Allah for safety. And he must pray. If he does not pray, he is a disbeliever. But if one says that he is not declared a disbeliever except by denial, then he must make up the fast. The majority hold that one is not declared a disbeliever except by denial. So based on this, he must make up the fast, along with repentance, for the days he missed. He should be cautious. If he is unsure whether it was five or six days, he fasts six. If he is unsure whether it was six or seven, he fasts seven, and so on.
