The Case of One Who Owes Fasting of Two Consecutive Months but an Obstacle Prevents Him

۞
7. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn abu Hamzah from abu Basir who has said the following
“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about one’s discontinuing the fast which is for expiation due to an oath, Zihar or murder. He (the Imam) said, ‘If one owes fasting for two consecutive months, then stops fasting because of illness in the first month, he is required to resume the fast all over again. If one fasts the first month and also certain days from the second month then something happens which is good reason, he only is required to complete its Qada’ (compensatory fast).”’
7ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) عَنْ قَطْعِ صَوْمِ كَفَّارَةِ الْيَمِينِ وَكَفَّارَةِ الظِّهَارِ وَكَفَّارَةِ الْقَتْلِ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ صِيَامُ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ فَأَفْطَرَ أَوْ مَرِضَ فِي الشَّهْرِ الأَوَّلِ فَإِنَّ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُعِيدَ الصِّيَامَ وَإِنْ صَامَ الشَّهْرَ الأَوَّلَ وَصَامَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الثَّانِي شَيْئاً ثُمَّ عَرَضَ لَهُ مَا لَهُ فِيهِ عُذْرٌ فَإِنَّ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَقْضِيَ.
