Muwatta MalikHadith Number 43
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، وسَمِعْتُ مَالِكًا يَقُولُ: " أَحْسَنُ مَا سَمِعْتُ فِيمَنْ وَجَبَ عَلَيْهِ صِيَامُ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ، فِي قَتْلِ خَطَأٍ أَوْ تَظَاهُرٍ فَعَرَضَ لَهُ مَرَضٌ يَغْلِبُهُ وَيَقْطَعُ عَلَيْهِ صِيَامَهُ، أَنَّهُ إِنْ صَحَّ مِنْ مَرَضِهِ، وَقَوِيَ عَلَى الصِّيَامِ، فَلَيْسَ لَهُ أَنْ يُؤَخِّرَ ذَلِكَ، وَهُوَ يَبْنِي عَلَى مَا قَدْ مَضَى مِنْ صِيَامِهِ، وَكَذَلِكَ الْمَرْأَةُ الَّتِي يَجِبُ عَلَيْهَا الصِّيَامُ فِي قَتْلِ النَّفْسِ خَطَأً. إِذَا حَاضَتْ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَيْ صِيَامِهَا أَنَّهَا، إِذَا طَهُرَتْ، لَا تُؤَخِّرُ الصِّيَامَ. وَهِيَ تَبْنِي عَلَى مَا قَدْ صَامَتْ. وَلَيْسَ لِأَحَدٍ وَجَبَ عَلَيْهِ صِيَامُ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ، أَنْ يُفْطِرَ إِلَّا مِنْ عِلَّةٍ: مَرَضٍ أَوْ حَيْضَةٍ. وَلَيْسَ لَهُ أَنْ يُسَافِرَ فَيُفْطِرَ ". قَالَ مَالِكٍ: «وَهَذَا أَحْسَنُ مَا سَمِعْتُ فِي ذَلِكَ»
Malik Narrated from:
The best that I have heard about some one who has to fast for two consecutive months because of having killed someone by mistake or having pronounced the dhihar form of divorce, becoming very ill and having to break his fast, is that if he recovers from his illness and is strong enough to fast, he must not delay doing so. He continues his fast from where he left off.Similarly, a woman who has to fast because of having killed some one by mistake should not delay resuming her fast when she has become pure after her period. She continues her fast from where she left off. No one who, by the Book of Allah, has to fast for two consecutive months may break his fast except for a reason - illness or menstruation. He must not travel and break his fast. Malik said, "This is the best that I have heard about the matter."
