Chapter on Making up Fasts of the Month of Ramadan

وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ اَلْحَارِثِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ بُرَيْدٍ اَلْعِجْلِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي رَجُلٍ أَتَى أَهْلَهُ فِي يَوْمٍ يَقْضِيهِ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ «إِنْ كَانَ أَتَى أَهْلَهُ قَبْلَ اَلزَّوَالِ فَلاَ شَيْءَ عَلَيْهِ إِلاَّ يَوْماً مَكَانَ يَوْمٍ وَ إِنْ أَتَى أَهْلَهُ بَعْدَ زَوَالِ اَلشَّمْسِ فَإِنَّ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَتَصَدَّقَ عَلَى عَشَرَةِ مَسَاكِينَ لِكُلِّ مِسْكِينٍ مُدٌّ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَقْدِرْ عَلَيْهِ صَامَ يَوْماً مَكَانَ يَوْمٍ وَ صَامَ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ كَفَّارَةً لِمَا صَنَعَ ». وَ قَدْ رُوِيَ: «أَنَّهُ إِنْ أَفْطَرَ قَبْلَ اَلزَّوَالِ فَلاَ شَيْءَ عَلَيْهِ وَ إِنْ أَفْطَرَ بَعْدَ اَلزَّوَالِ فَعَلَيْهِ اَلْكَفَّارَةُ مِثْلُ مَا عَلَى مَنْ أَفْطَرَ يَوْماً مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ ».
Ibn Mahboub narrated from Al-Harith ibn Muhammad from Buraid Al-Ijli from Abu Ja'far عليه السلام regarding a man who engaged with his wife during a day when he was making up a missed fast from Month of Ramadan. Abu Ja'far عليه السلام said: "If he engaged with her before midday, there is nothing upon him except to fast another day in place of that day. However, if he engaged with her after the sun had passed its zenith, then he must feed ten needy people, giving each a mudd of food. If he cannot afford this, he should fast one day in place of the missed day and add three additional days as expiation for what he did." It has also been narrated: "If he broke his fast before midday, there is no penalty upon him. But if he broke his fast after midday, then he must offer expiation similar to that required for breaking a fast during Month of Ramadan."
