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

وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي اَلْخَطَّابِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنِ اَلْمَشْرِقِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَفْطَرَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ أَيَّاماً مُتَعَمِّداً مَا عَلَيْهِ مِنَ اَلْكَفَّارَةِ فَكَتَبَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ» مَنْ أَفْطَرَ يَوْماً مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ مُتَعَمِّداً فَعَلَيْهِ عِتْقُ رَقَبَةٍ مُؤْمِنَةٍ وَ يَصُومُ يَوْماً بَدَلَ يَوْمٍ«.
And from him, from Abu Jafar, from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn ibn Abi al-Khattab, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Nasr, from al-Mashriqi, from Abu al-Hasan عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said: I (narrator) asked Imam عليه السلام about ‘a man who deliberately broke his fast for some days from the month of Ramadan. What expiation is upon him?’ So the Imam عليه السلام, wrote: “Whoever deliberately breaks his fast for a day from month of Ramadan, upon him is freeing of a believing slave, and he fasts a day in place of a day.”
