Expiation for Deliberately Breaking the Fast
Question: If a person deliberately breaks his fast, what is its expiation?
Answer: For anyone who deliberately breaks the fast for any reason, the expiation is that he frees a slave. If he does not have the means, he should fast for two consecutive months. If that is also not possible, he should feed sixty needy people.
