A Muslim must obey Allah and comply with His commands, and avoid His prohibitions. If one falls short, they must hasten to repent, seek forgiveness, and perform righteous deeds. Fasting for two months is only obligatory if one commits an act that necessitates such an expiation, such as intercourse during the daytime in , or unlawfully killing a soul, or if one vows to fast for two months.
