Muwatta Malik — Hadith #35126

Tradition 40. Yaya (RA) said, I heard Malik (RA) say about a person on whom fasting for two consecutive months has been made obligatory - for killing by mistake or committing zihar[1]. After that, he had a hard time breaking the fast done If he recovers and is able to fast, then the best of what I have heard (in this regard) is that it is not permissible for him to delay it. He will keep the rest of the fast on the basis of the fast he has completed before. Likewise, a woman on whom fasting has become obligatory due to a manslaughter, should not fast if she menstruates in the middle of her fast. However, if it becomes ripe, then he should not delay in fasting and the rest of the fast will be based on the fast he had previously observed. God's It is not permissible for a person on whom fasting for two consecutive months has been obligatory according to the provisions of the Book, except for pain and menstruation. It is not permissible for such a person to break his fast after starting the journey. as It is stated in the Holy Qur'an, "Whoever among you is sick or on a journey, he should fast on another day." Yahya (RA) said - Malik (RA) said: This is the best for me among what I have heard in this regard.
