What do I have to do in this situation???

[al-muslimah]

Salam alaycoum Dear Members,

This is really important..

I missed fasting days in Ramadan (Period) so I have to re fast them after Ramadan. Currently I'm fasting the Qada'a (re fasting), but today I broke the fast for no reason (well its not that BIG reason to break a fast, its just that I thought I would be tired because I have school from 8-12 and i didn't eat sohor, so I just ate)..

Long time ago, I used to hear people say, if you get in this situation, you have to fast 60 days, feed 60 poor people and I think Slaughter a sheep instead of the day you broke the fast. So to make sure I just asked my friends (one of them is a Sheik's daughter), who were with me at that time. They told me that I don't have to do all that!! its just normal and re fast it again anytime it's suitable for me to fast. For a moment I couldn't stand all that confusion (of what i heard before and what i heard from my friends), so I called my parents and asked them what to do? My mother told me that i have to fast two days instead of the one I broke fasting!!!!

I'm so confused!! I really want to know what I have to do!! It's not a game, I don't want to end up doing mistakes and committing sins!!!

Hope question was clear and understood. I appreciate any replies ,fatwas or anything to answer my question.

Thank you in advance.

Walsalm Alaycoum.

A woman was making up one of the days that she did not fast in Ramadaan because of menstruation, then her period came on that day when she was making up the fast. Does she have to make up one day or two?.


Praise be to Allaah.

She only has to make up the day that she did not fast in Ramadaan, because the day she was fasting when her period came was only to replace the day that she did not fast in Ramadaan; it was not a new obligatory fast.

Ibn Hazm said in al-Muhalla (6/271): Whoever deliberately breaks a fast observed to make up for a missed Ramadaan fast only has to make up one day, because the obligation to make up the fast applies only to the Ramadaan fast. It was narrated in a saheeh report that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) made up that day he missed of Ramadaan. So it is not permissible to add more to it without any shar’i text to support that and without any scholarly consensus. It was narrated from one of the salaf that he has to make up two days, the day from Ramadaan and the day when he was making up that fast.

It says in al-Taaj wa’l-Ikleel: Whoever breaks a fast observed to make up for a missed day from Ramadaan only has to make up one day. 3/387.

And Allaah knows best.

but sister I broke the fast for no desperate reason( unlike the sister in fatwa, her period came)..so do I still make up one day to fast?

 

[ShyHijabi]

Salaam,

Well I've looked high and low and cannot find anything on someone who purposely breaks their fast. If someone is telling you that you have to make up additional days in place of the one then they must provide daleel. Otherwise it's bidah. Honestly I would just call the mosque and speak directly to the imam in order to get a straight forward answer.

Wasalaam

FATWA 49985 IQA

What is the ruling on breaking a fast when making up an obligatory fast?.

Praise be to Allaah.

If a person starts an obligatory fast, such as making up a missed Ramadaan fast or offering expiation for breaking a vow (kafaarat yameen), it is not permissible for him to break the fast without a valid excuse, such as sickness or travel.

If he breaks his fast – with or without an excuse – he has to make up that day, but he does not have to offer any expiation, because expiation is only required for intercourse during the day in Ramadaan. See question no. 49750 .

If he breaks the fast with no excuse, then he has to repent to Allaah for this haraam action.

Ibn Qudaamah (4/412) said:

If a person starts an obligatory fast, such as making up a missed Ramadaan fast, or a fast that he vowed to observe, or an expiatory fast, it is not permissible for him to break the fast. There is no scholarly difference of opinion on this point, praise be to Allaah.

Al-Nawawi said in al-Majmoo’ (6/383):

If a person has intercourse during a fast other than in Ramadaan, such as making up a missed fast, or a fast that he vowed to observe, etc, no expiation (kafaarah) is required. This is the view of the majority. Qutaadah said: He has to offer expiation if he broke a fast that he was observing to make up for a missed Ramadaan fast.

See al-Mughni, 4/378

Shaykh Ibn Baaz was asked in Majmoo’ al-Fataawa (15/355):

I was fasting one day to make up for a missed fast, but after Zuhr prayer I felt hungry so I ate and drank deliberately, not because I had forgotten or was unaware. What is the ruling on this action of mine?

He replied:

You have to complete the fast. It is not permissible to break the fast if that was an obligatory fast such as making up a missed Ramadaan fast or a fast that you vowed to observe. You also have to repent from what you did. Whoever repents to Allaah, Allaah will accept his repentance.

Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked (20/451):

In the past I fasted to make up for what I owed, then I broke the fast deliberately. After that I made up that fast one day. I do not know whether that is sufficient or do I have to fast two consecutive months? Do I have to offer expiation? Please advise me.

He replied:

If a person starts an obligatory fast, such as making up a missed Ramadaan fast or offering expiation for breaking a vow (kafaarat yameen), or expiation for shaving during Hajj if he shaved his head before exiting ihraam, or any other obligatory fast, it is not permissible for him to break the fast without a valid shar’i excuse. The same applies to anyone who starts an obligatory action – he has to complete it and it is not permissible for him to stop it unless he has a legitimate shar’i excuse that allows him to stop. This woman who started to make up a fast then broke her fast one day with no excuse and made up that day does not have to do anything else, but she has to repent and ask Allaah for forgiveness for breaking an obligatory fast with no excuse.
