What is entailed for someone who tried to joke and flirt with a foreign girl during the daytime in Ramadan, then broke his fast, thinking that his action had invalidated his fasting?
What occurred is a result of residing in lands of disbelief and co-educational studies. Intentionally breaking the fast during the day in is a grave error requiring seeking forgiveness and continuing the fast. Satan hinders good deeds under the pretext of unworthiness. The emission of (pre-seminal fluid) does not invalidate the fast according to the soundest opinion among scholars. It is impure, invalidates ablution, and it suffices to sprinkle water on what it soiled; a full bath is not required. The day on which the fast was broken must be made up, along with repentance. The severe expiation ( mughalladhah) is not obligatory. If the make-up fast is delayed until another Ramadan, a delay expiation becomes obligatory, which is feeding a poor person.
