The ruling on intentionally breaking the fast in Ramadan to go for 'Umrah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If you please, Shaykh, I broke my fast intentionally in Ramadan because I wanted to go for 'Umrah. I ate because I was taking pills to stop my period, and I broke my fast intentionally because I forgot a pill. What is the situation?
The Shaykh : Before you left your country. Yes. This is not permissible.
The questioner : Because I forgot, so it was during the time of the period, meaning I took it.
The Shaykh : Did you break your fast while you were in your country? This is not permissible. A traveler is not allowed to break his fast unless he has left the city.
The questioner : Please proceed.
The Shaykh : You should repent to Allah for what happened and seek Allah's forgiveness. And you must make up the day you broke your fast.
The questioner : What do I have to do? Is there no expiation for it or anything?
The Shaykh : No, there is no expiation. There is the expiation of repentance, seeking forgiveness, and not returning to such a thing.
The questioner : If Allah wills. Okay, thank you.
