The ruling on the interruption of the fast for the expiation of accidental killing for a sick person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: My son has the expiation for accidental killing, which is two consecutive months of fasting. He fasted one month, then he fell ill, and the doctors told him to break his fast. Then he completed the month except for three days, after which the illness returned to him, and he broke his fast at the doctors' request. Does this fast suffice, and what is the ruling of the Shari'ah in this matter?
Answer:
Yes, the fast suffices because he broke it for an excuse, and breaking the fast for a legitimate Shari'ah excuse does not break the consecutiveness. He completes the two months even if they are interrupted by illness and breaking the fast, and he owes nothing, and praise be to Allah.
