Not regretting what has passed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The sixth question of the fatwa numbered ( 8052 ):
Q6: I broke my fast during the day in Ramadan because I saw that Allah, Mighty and Majestic, had given to others what I did not find in my work, while He did not give it to me, even though I was diligent in my work. Then I came to my senses afterward and regretted it. What should I do, and what is the ruling on the day I broke my fast?
A6: If the situation is as described, then that person’s action is clear misguidance; because he was dissatisfied with the decree of Allah and accused Him, Exalted is He, of injustice. Allah, Exalted is He, is All-Knowing and Wise and does not wrong by the weight of an atom. However, He may give to the wicked as a means of luring them, and He may withhold His bounty from the obedient to multiply it for them on the Day of Resurrection, as a favor and kindness from Him. That person must repent to Allah, seek His forgiveness, regret what he let slip, and resolve not to return to it. He must make up the day he broke his fast only if he did not have intercourse. If he broke his fast through intercourse, he must make up the fast and pay the expiation, which is: freeing a believing slave. If he cannot find one, he must fast for two consecutive months. If he cannot do that, he must feed sixty poor people (thirty sa’ of the local staple food, half a sa’ for each person). And success is from Allah. May Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
