The questioner : On making up Ramadan: If a person breaks his fast while making up a day, is that permissible?
The Shaykh : It is not permissible to break the fast while making up a day of Ramadan without a valid religious excuse. This is because anyone who begins an obligatory act must complete it, whereas anyone who begins a voluntary act is not required to complete it, except for Hajj and 'Umrah. Pay attention to these two principles.
The questioner : The difference, O Shaykh, between this and the expiation, if one has intercourse while making up fasts.
The Shaykh : This is a prohibition of time, whereas that has no specific time of respect; you may fast it on any day without any obstacle.
