He broke his Fast due to an Excuse, so is he obligated to make expiation?

Question :

A man broke his fast for two days during the month of Ramadhan in the year 1395 AH. Then, the month of Ramadhan arrived for the year 1396 AH while he had not made up for those two days. Then, he broke his fast during the Ramadhan of 1396 AH for three days. He made up for these five days consecutively in Muharram of 1397 AH. So, does he need to pay any compensation money?

Answer:

If the fast breaking of the person whom you have mentioned was for an excuse, nothing is due on him other than making up for the days as he did. This is due to the Statement of Allâh:
"So, whoever among you is ill or on a journey, then (he may make up for his fast from) a number of other days."

If the fast breaking was without an excuse, then along with making up for the days that you did, you must make repentance. This is because breaking the fast in Ramadhan is not permissible except with an excuse. There is no expiation due on you concerning the three days that you did not fast during Ramadhan of the year 1396 AH. However, concerning the two days that you did not fast during Ramadhan in the year 1395 AH, along with making up for the days, you must feed a poor person for each day if you delayed making them up for until Ramadhan of 1396 AH without a legislated excuse. The amount of food that is to be given to each poor person is half a Sa' of food of the land. This is if your breaking the fast was by something other than sex. However, if the fast breaking was by having sex, along with making up for each day you did not fast due to having sex, you must make expiation. This is by freeing a believing slave. If you cannot find a believing slave to free, then you must fast two months consecutively. If you are not able to do so, you must feed 60 poor people. And Allah is the Giver of success.
