The ruling on one who intentionally breaks his fast during a vowed fast
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our brother says in his second question: What is the ruling for a man who was fasting a vow for Allah for three days, and on the third day he did not complete his fast? Does he commit a sin in that, or does he owe an expiation?
May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Yes, he commits a sin in that if he intentionally breaks the fast. As for if he was forgetful, he owes nothing. As for if he vowed to fast three days and then broke the fast on one of them, he commits a sin; because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 6696 So he has no right to break the fast on the day for which he vowed to fast. He has to fast, and if he has started the fast, he must abstain until he completes it. If he breaks the fast in it, he has to make up the day on which he broke the fast. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good. As for an expiation, he does not owe an expiation?
The Shaykh: No, the expiation is specific to the woman.
The presenter: May Allah reward you, and may Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh: It is specific to the one who had intercourse in Ramadan specifically. Even making up Ramadan does not involve an expiation, except for the one who had intercourse in Ramadan itself. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
