Question :

Can someone who begins a voluntary fast break it?


The Answer :

It is preferable for someone who begins an act of worship not to break it.


Allah the Exalted has said {what means}: "and let not your [good] deeds come to nought!" [Muhammad/33].


However, if a person starts a voluntary fast (nafl) and needs to break it, they are going against what is preferable, but there is no sin upon them.
