Fasting one day to make up for Ramadan, then breaking the fast before sunset for a need rather than a dire necessity: Is this permissible?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I began today making up a day of fasting from Ramadan, then I broke my fast during the day before sunset for a need, not a dire necessity. Is my action permissible?

Answer:
No, my brother, it is not permissible to break an obligatory fast. It is not permissible to break an obligatory fast except for a dire necessity. Without a dire necessity, one must complete it. Yes. For this reason, the scholars say: whoever enters into an obligation, it becomes forbidden for him to break it.
