The ruling on one who breaks his fast in Ramadan without an excuse
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I ask your Eminence about one who breaks his fast during the day in Ramadan intentionally and deliberately. Does he have to make up that day? And is there an expiation?
Answer:
He must repent to Allah; because it is a crime, a great evil, and a major sin; so he must repent to Allah, and he must make up the fast, but he does not owe an expiation. The expiation is specifically for intercourse during the day in Ramadan. As for breaking the fast by eating and drinking and the like; there is no expiation for it, but rather there is repentance to Allah, regret, and the resolve not to return to it, along with frequent seeking of forgiveness while making up the day he broke.
As for the hadith: This is a weak hadith according to the scholars of knowledge; it is not authentic. It is a confused hadith, not authentic. The correct view is: that he makes up only one day, along with repentance to Allah (may He be Exalted), Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.

As for the hadith:
Whoever breaks his fast on a day of Ramadan intentionally, he will not make it up by fasting for the rest of his life, even if he does fast it.
