إذا صائم يعروه فَطْرٌ وقد أتى

إذا صائم يعروه فَطْرٌ وقد أتى

يسائل عن إمساك آخِر يَوْمِهِ

يسائل عن إمساك آخِر يَوْمِهِ

If a fasting person’s fast is broken and he has come

If one who fasts strips naked, breaking the fast though it has come

Asking about abstaining for the remainder of his day:

He asks about abstaining on the last of his days

فإمْسَاكُهُ حَتْمٌ بيومٍ معيّنٍ

فإمْسَاكُهُ حَتْمٌ بيومٍ معيّنٍ

لدى العَمْدِ والمظنون منفيّ حتمِهِ

لدى العَمْدِ والمظنون منفيّ حتمِهِ

Then his abstinence is obligatory on a specified day,

To abstain that day is binding at a fixed time

When the breaking is deliberate; the presumed case carries no such obligation.

With the pillar, while the recommended is devoid of binding certitude

وفي غيره حتم بشهر صيامه

وفي غيره حتم بشهر صيامه

وإِنْ يَقْضِهِ فالنّدْبُ غَايَةُ حُكْمِهِ

وإِنْ يَقْضِهِ فالنّدْبُ غَايَةُ حُكْمِهِ

And otherwise, it is obligatory in the month of his fasting;

And in other than it, binding by month of fasting

And if he is making it up, abstinence is only recommended.

And if he makes it up, recommendation is the extent of its rule

وفي كلّ محتوم التتابع ندبه

وفي كلّ محتوم التتابع ندبه

يرى إن عراه الفطرُ في بَدْءِ صَوْمِهِ

يرى إن عراه الفطرُ في بَدْءِ صَوْمِهِ

And in every fast requiring consecutive observance, the recommendation to abstain

In every ordained, consecutive is its recommendation

Is recognized if his fast is broken at the outset of his fasting.

He sees if the fast-breaking exposed him at the start of his fast

وفي غير محتوم التتابع حكمه ال

وفي غير محتوم التتابع حكمه ال

خيارُ كصَوْمِ العيدِ فاظفَرْ بفَهْمِهِ

خيارُ كصَوْمِ العيدِ فاظفَرْ بفَهْمِهِ

And in a fast not requiring consecutive observance, its ruling is

And in other than ordained, consecutive is its rule

A matter of choice, as with fasting on Eid—so grasp its meaning.

Optional as fasting the Eid, so gain understanding of it
