Traveling for a distance less than that which permits a fasting person to break Sawm and breaking Sawm


417

Q 1: I am an eighteen-year-old student, all praise is due to Allah. In the past Ramadan, I traveled by a truck to an area at a distance less than that permit a fasting person to break Sawm (Fast); so, I observed Sawm and traveled. When I reached this area, I became extremely thirsty and broke my Sawm. Have I only to make up for this day or to make up for this day and pay Kaffarah (expiation) as well?


A: If you broke your Sawm due to intense thirst, you have to make up for the day on which you broke Sawm.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
