What is the ruling on someone who intentionally broke their fast in Ramadan by masturbating and drinking water, then repented and wished to make up for what they missed, so they fasted a portion of the days they thought they had missed (10 days), then stopped fasting and feeding without an excuse, then another Ramadan began? Should they restart fasting the days they began, or should they complete what they started and then feed a poor person for each day?
Intentionally breaking the fast during the daytime in Ramadan is one of the gravest sins. The one who commits it must feel deep remorse and offer sincere repentance. He must also make up for the days he missed (if he has not already made them up), and feed a poor person for each day he delayed making up until the next Ramadan began.
