Chapter on Making Up the Month of Ramadan, and the Ruling of One Who Breaks the Fast in It Intentionally and Forgetfully, and One upon Whom Fasting Two Consecutive Months Is Obligatory and He Breaks the Fast during Them, or upon Whom There Is a Vow Regarding Fasting

And that which Ali ibn al-Hasan narrated, from Ahmad ibn al-Hasan, from Amr ibn Said, from Musaddiq ibn Sadaqah, from Ammar al-Sabati, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him: Imam عليه السلام was asked about ‘a man upon whom there are days from the month of Ramadan, and he wants to make them up; when does he intend the fast?’ Imam عليه السلام said: “He has the choice until the sun declines. Then when the sun has declined, if he had intended the fast, then let him fast, and if he had intended breaking the fast, then let him break the fast.” Imam عليه السلام was asked: “If he had intended breaking the fast, is it valid for him to intend the fast after the sun has declined?” Imam عليه السلام said: “No.” Imam عليه السلام was asked: “If he intended the fast, then broke the fast after the sun had declined?” Imam عليه السلام said: “He has done wrong, and there is nothing upon him except making up that day which he had intended to make up.”
