Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : So, is there a make-up fast required for him, or...?
The Shaykh : The make-up fast is required in any case, even if...
The questioner : He broke his fast, O Shaykh, because he was ignorant and broke his fast?
The Shaykh : I say: He will make it up, even if he did not break his fast until after he left, because if he left the same city and broke his fast, there is no harm.
The questioner : Okay, this man did it, O Shaykh, because he was ignorant or heard some fatwa that it is permissible for him to break his fast at home, so he broke his fast at home and then traveled, he set out, yes.
The Shaykh : Fine.
The questioner : Does he say: He has to make up the fast?
The Shaykh : The make-up fast is necessary, O Muhammad.
The questioner : I mean an expiation, I mean...
The Shaykh : There is no expiation except for intercourse; there is no expiation for eating and drinking.
The questioner : Okay, O Shaykh, he says the Maliki school holds that there is an expiation for...?
The Shaykh : Their statement is not correct; it is not correct. Whoever among the scholars said: "Whoever breaks his fast by eating, drinking, or intercourse must pay an expiation," his statement is not correct.
The questioner : Okay, O Shaykh, may Allah reward you, is it not by analogy, O Shaykh, exactly by analogy, if one has intercourse in Ramadan, he has to pay an expiation, so if he intentionally broke his fast, he intended it, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : I say: Intercourse differs from other prohibitions, and for this reason it invalidates the rites of Hajj and 'Umrah, while the other prohibitions do not invalidate them. Intercourse has a greater status.
The questioner : Okay, O Shaykh, they hold, they say: It is by analogy.
The Shaykh : And the lesser is not analogized to the greater.
The questioner : Yes, their statement is not correct?
The Shaykh : Yes, I do.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : The make-up fast is required in any case, even if...
