من قال: الصائم بالخيار في التطوع
Those who said: the fasting person has the choice in voluntary fasting
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 9338 — Those who said: the fasting person has
٩٣٣٨ - حدثنا عباد بن العوام عن هشام عن الحسن قال: إذا تسحر الرجل فقد وجب عليه الصوم فإن أفطر فعليه القضاء، (وإن) (١) هم بالصوم فهو بالخيار (فإن) (٢) شاء صام وإن شاء أفطر، وإن مسألة إنسان فقال: أصائم أنت؟ فقال: نعم، فقد وجب عليه الصوم إلا أن يقول: إن شاء اللَّه؛ فإن قال فهو بالخيار إن شاء (صام) (٣) وإن شاء أفطر.
Al-Hasan said: When a man has eaten suhur, the fast has become obligatory upon him; if he breaks the fast, making it up is obligatory upon him. If he merely intended to fast, he has a choice: if he wishes, he may fast, and if he wishes, he may not fast. If someone asks him, "Are you fasting?" and he answers "Yes," the fast becomes obligatory upon him. But if he says, "In sha' Allah (if Allah wills)," the fast has not become obligatory; in that case he has a choice: if he wishes, he may fast, and if he wishes, he may not.
