Chapter on Expiation for Intentionally Breaking the Fast of a Day from the Month of Ramadan

Muhammad ibn Yaqub, from a number of our companions, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, from al-Hasan ibn Mahbub, from Abdullah ibn Sinan, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him: (Imam عليه السلام was asked) regarding ‘a man who deliberately broke his fast in the month of Ramadan for one day without an excuse.’ Imam عليه السلام said: “He frees a soul, or fasts two consecutive months, or feeds sixty needy persons. If he is not able, he gives charity with whatever he can bear.”
