Breaking the fast of a vow due to a celebration
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: My mother vowed to Allah that she would fast every Monday and Thursday for the rest of her life. Sometimes she breaks her fast on days when she is unable to keep it, such as when there is a celebration. Does she have to pay an expiation if she breaks her fast on such a day?
Answer:
The celebration does not permit her to break her fast on this day. Rather, if she is afflicted with an illness or something urgent and she breaks her fast, then she must make up this day and pay an expiation equivalent to an oath.
