The ruling on one who intentionally breaks his fast in Ramadan without an excuse
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I fasted Ramadan, and I broke my fast for one day in it without an excuse, and I repented to Allah and I made up this day without delay, and praise be to Allah. So, do I owe an expiation in addition to fasting this day? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
If your breaking the fast was not through intercourse, then you owe no expiation; you owe repentance—praise be to Allah—and making up the day. But if it was through intercourse, whether you had intercourse with your wife or through forbidden intercourse—we seek refuge in Allah—then you owe the expiation, along with making up the day and repenting. The expiation is freeing a believing slave. If you are unable to do so, you fast two consecutive months, sixty days, two consecutive months. If you are unable to do so, you feed sixty poor people, thirty sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg), each poor person receiving half a sa', meaning ninety kilograms; each poor person receives one and a half kilograms as expiation if you had intercourse in Ramadan, whether with your wife or otherwise, we seek refuge in Allah from Satan.
So, the result is that intercourse obligates the expiation along with making up the day. As for breaking the fast by eating, drinking, or the like, but without intercourse, this obligates only making up the day and repenting; making up the day and repenting. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
