Fiqh of Fasting: Chapter 2: Breaking Fast in Specific Conditions: Prohibited in Ramadan

1. Prohibited in Ramadaan
It is haraam for anyone of whom fasting is required to break their fast any day in Ramadhan. If the fast is broken you still have to fast the rest of the day, and you have to make up the fast. You cannot say “I broke my fast. Oh well!! Now I can eat and drink all I want to eat and drink”. Rather one should fear Allah and observe the sanctity of this month. You still have to observe the fasting as it is still Ramadaan and if people see you eating and drinking this will show them that you are not ashamed of your sin, on the contrary you are showing people that you have committed a major sin and it is not allowed in Islaam to show your sins off.
