Ruling on eating and drinking for one who broke his fast in Ramadan by the emission of semen
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: He says: I went to my father's house and completed my fast on that day, out of fear that my father would ask me about the reason for breaking my fast. I was about fifteen years old at that time, and now I am close to forty-five. I now pray, fast, and fulfill all of Allah's obligations. The question that can be inferred from his wording is: He says, "I went to my father's house and completed my fast." Is it permissible for one who breaks his fast by the emission of semen or something similar to eat?
The Shaykh: Is this man the one who asked the first question?
The presenter: Yes, he is the one who asked the first question.
Answer: Yes, he is obligated to complete the fast, even if he emitted semen. He is obligated to complete the fast. If he emitted, something occurred that broke his fast. He is not allowed to continue breaking his fast. Rather, he must abstain out of respect for the sanctity of the time. The time is respected; it is a time of fasting. So if a person is afflicted with something that breaks his fast, it is not permissible for him to continue breaking his fast. Rather, he is obligated to abstain until the sun sets, and he must make up that day. So if he emitted semen due to caressing or kissing his wife, or in a forbidden manner, may Allah protect us, he must make up that day. In addition to this, he must abstain and complete the fast. It is not permissible for him to say, "Since I broke my fast with semen, I will eat and drink." No, he must complete his fast and abstain. In addition to this, he must make up the day. Yes.
