Q:
During Ramadan, I, along with a group with me, went from
Madinah
to
Makkah
to perform `Umrah (lesser pilgrimage). We live in the
Wa`irah District
near the airport of
Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah.
It is well known that the airport is located to the east of
Madinah.
When we left our homes and reached the city center i.e.,
Madinah,
we broke our Sawm (Fast) due to our ignorance of the ruling. I hope from Allah that Your Eminence will inform us about the ruling.
A:
If the reality is as you have mentioned, then you are sinful for breaking your Sawm before leaving
Al-Madinah. It was obligatory for you to ask scholars about the ruling before breaking your Sawm. You should make up for the day you missed while you were in
Al-Madinah. There is no Kaffarah (expiation) obligatory for you unless you practiced sexual intercourse in addition to breaking the Sawm.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
