One who is obligated to fast two consecutive months, then breaks his fast for one day: must he start over or complete the fast?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Al-Halabi : All right, regarding this expiation, if a person breaks his fast for one day, does he start over or repeat the expiation?
The Shaykh : Does he start over?
Al-Halabi : Or repeat it?
The Shaykh : You did not understand.
Al-Halabi : I mean, my intention is whether he completes it or starts over, meaning begins the repetition from the beginning, if he breaks his fast for one day?
The Shaykh : I mean, do you intend that he abstains if he breaks his fast?
Al-Halabi : A person breaks his fast, no, I did not intend that, my Shaykh. A person in his expiation, by fasting two consecutive months, breaks his fast for one day of these two months?
The Shaykh : I mean, during the performance of the expiation.
Al-Halabi : Yes, during the expiation.
The Shaykh : I mean, during the fasting of the two consecutive months.
Al-Halabi : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, so what is the question now?
Al-Halabi : The question is whether he repeats from the beginning or completes it, whether with an excuse or without an excuse, and the answer in every case?
The Shaykh : Yes, Allah knows best; the definitive answer does not come to mind right now.
Al-Halabi : May Allah reward you with good.
Another questioner : I asked you this question once before, and you said if he broke his fast with an excuse, he broke his fast with an excuse...
The Shaykh : Yes, that is settled.
Another questioner : What about the one who breaks his fast without an excuse?
The Shaykh : The question is about the one without an excuse.
Another questioner : He asked about both cases.
The Shaykh : How?
Another questioner : He said about both cases.
The Shaykh : With an excuse and without an excuse.
Another questioner : Yes, exactly.
The Shaykh : No, if it is with an excuse, it is not more severe than Ramadan. But where I hesitate is if it is without an excuse: should he start over with fasting two consecutive months? If we compare it to Ramadan, the answer is yes, but the precision of the matter is whether this analogy is appropriate or not?
