Breaking a vow
Question
If I vowed to fast and by mistake I broke the fast, what should I do? Do I need to set a fast for another day in order to atone?
Thank you, and have a good week.
Answer
If you vowed to fast on a specific day, then that opportunity is lost. If you vowed to fast for a day without specifying which one, then fast on another day.
