One Who Is Invited to a Wedding Feast While Fasting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A woman fasted on Monday and Thursday voluntarily,So I went to a wedding feast, and when I arrived, she said: so that I might break my fast with them. This applies to voluntary fasting as well as making up missed fasts. What is the ruling?
As for making up missed fasts, it is not permissible for a person to break his fast if he is invited to a wedding feast. He should attend and sit at the table but not eat. As for voluntary fasting, one should consider: if breaking the fast and eating would comfort the heart of the host, then he should break his fast. If the host does not care, then it is better not to break the fast, but if he does break it, there is no harm.
