Ruling on making up a fast broken during voluntary fasting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
In voluntary fasting, if a person is invited to a wedding feast and breaks his fast, does he have to make up that day which he broke?
Answer: There is no blame on him. If he breaks his fast, he owes no make-up fast, for the one performing a voluntary act is the master of his own affair. However, it is better for him to complete the fast and make an excuse: he should come to them and accept the invitation, saying, “I am fasting,” and then make du'a for them and leave. If he sees that it is in the interest to break his fast, there is no blame in that.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
