The ruling on a voluntary fasting person breaking his fast when he sees a benefit
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
It covers, or it covers, it covers both of these. O Allah, spread it as a mercy from You and bestow it as a blessing.
The questioner:
Fine, it is a voluntary fast.
The Shaykh:
If he sees a benefit in breaking his fast, he breaks it. If it is a mild, customary illness that does not make his fasting objectionable, there is no harm in him completing his fast. If he sees that breaking his fast is better to comfort the guest and make him feel at ease, there is no harm.
