Breaking the fast during the day in Ramadan without an excuse
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: In last Ramadan, it happened that I broke my fast for several days without a valid excuse. Is it sufficient for me to just make up those days? And what else is required of me? I am deeply remorseful for that, and I am determined, if Allah wills, never to return to such a thing again.
Answer: Breaking the fast during the day in Ramadan without an excuse is a great error and a major sin—may Allah protect us from it. It is obligatory for the one who does that to repent to Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, with a sincere repentance, to feel remorse for what has passed, not to return to it in the future, and to maintain his fasting. Then, along with the repentance, he has to make up the days he left.
So you have to make up these days you left after you have repented to Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, perhaps Allah will forgive you for what came before.
Question: Is he not required to feed people along with making up the fast?
Answer: If another Ramadan has passed before he fasted them without an excuse, he has to feed a poor person for every day along with making up the fast.
Question: What is the amount of feeding?
Answer: Each poor person is given half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg). This is the most cautious position: half a sa' of the food customary in the country.
