Fasting: Breaking the Fast Before Reaching Tarakhkhuṣ Limit — What’s the Ruling?

English:

Question #794:

While going on a trip someone who is fasting breaks his fast before crossing the tarakhkhuṣ limit with the notion that he is a traveler, without knowing that he may break his fast before noon only when he has gone beyond the tarakhkhuṣ limit. What is the rule concerning his fast? Does he have to perform its qaḍā’ or is he liable to something else as well?

Answer #794:

In the given case, his fasting is invalid and he should fast again. However, if he did not know the rule, he is not liable to kaffārah.
