The Ruling on Consecutiveness in Fasting as Expiation for an Oath
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is the fasting for the expiation of an oath to be done consecutively, or is there no objection to it being non-consecutive?
Answer:
Consecutiveness is better, and if it is not done consecutively, it is sufficient; because Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) did not make consecutiveness a condition. He said: [Surat al-Ma'idah: 89] and He did not say: "consecutive." However, some of the Salaf read it... Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) used to read , and he held that consecutiveness was required. So consecutiveness is better, but if one fasts them non-consecutively, it is sufficient, and praise be to Allah for the stronger position.
