The ruling on breaking the fast of making up missed days and whether there is an expiation for it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she said:
The Shaykh:
Mercy in.
The questioner:
And the Shaykh said that bringing the wife close during the fast of making up missed days obligates an expiation by means of it, and also by its accompanying circumstances.
The Shaykh:
It is forbidden to break the fast of making up missed days. The jurists say that once one enters into an obligatory act that has a wide time frame, it is forbidden to break it. So if a woman is fasting to make up missed days, it is forbidden for her to break it, and it is forbidden for her husband to break it. This person who did this act and broke his wife’s fast of making up missed days has erred and committed a sin in that. He must repent and seek forgiveness, but there is no expiation on him, because the expiation is only for intercourse during the day of Ramadan.
