The Case of One Who Eats or Drinks but Has Doubts About Its Taking Place before or after Dawn

5ـ صَفْوَانُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) يَكُونُ عَلَيَّ الْيَوْمُ وَالْيَوْمَانِ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَأَتَسَحَّرُ مُصْبِحاً أُفْطِرُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ وَأَقْضِي مَكَانَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ يَوْماً آخَرَ أَوْ أُتِمُّ عَلَى صَوْمِ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَأَقْضِي يَوْماً آخَرَ فَقَالَ لا بَلْ تُفْطِرُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ لأَنَّكَ أَكَلْتَ مُصْبِحاً وَتَقْضِي يَوْماً آخَرَ.
5. From Safwan ibn Yahya has narrated from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “I once asked abu Ibrahim عليه السلام, about the case of my fasting that I owe one or two days of the month of Ramadan. I eat Suhur (breakfast in the morning before dawn) but it is already dawn. Is it necessary for me to eat that day instead of fasting and make Qada’ (compensatory fast) of that day on another day or complete that fast and then make Qada’ (compensatory fast) on another day? He (the Imam) said, ‘No, but you eat in that day; you ate after dawn. You must make Qada’ (compensatory fast) for it on another day.’”
