Salaam brother,
I have a question regarding breaking one's Fast intentionally (without a valid excuse of journey or illness)
I suffer from Porn addiction and I have been working hard to get rid of this disgusting problem. Allah Has Helped me get a lot more in control, but then still on certain days, I find myself blacking out as I did today which consequently nullified my fast.
I understand that one has to either fast a day for a day, or feed a poor or needy in its place. That is for the making up.
However, mainstream schools of thought teach of an expiation over and above this, which is fasting for 2 consecutive months, or feeding 60 needy/hungry people, or making donations or charity to that effect.
My question is regarding the expiation; does it find a sound basis from the Quran? If so, could you kindly provide me the appropriate references.
Thanks a lot.
JazakAllah Khayrun
