Breaking the Fast During the Day in Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q2: What is the ruling on one who deliberately violates the sanctity of two days of the month of Ramadan?
A2: If the meaning is that he broke his fast on a day of Ramadan or more without an excuse, using a means of breaking the fast other than intercourse, then he has committed a major sin among the major sins. It is obligatory for him to make sincere repentance for that and to make up that day. If he broke his fast through intercourse, then it is obligatory for him, in addition to what was mentioned, to pay the heavy expiation, which is freeing a slave. If he does not find one, he must fast two consecutive months. If he is unable to do so, he must feed sixty poor people, giving each poor person half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) of the staple food of the country, which is approximately one and a half kilograms by weight. If the meaning is that he violated the sanctity by something other than breaking the fast, such as backbiting, talebearing, or other sins that do not break the fast, then he should repent to Allah and seek His forgiveness, and his fast is valid. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
