Assalamu aleikum brothers and sisters,
I do need some help, have got stuck
About breaking fast during Ramadan. Not due to the reasons acceptable, like travelling, womens period, sickness and so forth, BUT if someone eats intentionally during Ramadan. I did find a Hadith from Abu Dawud:
Book 13, Number 2390:
Narrated AbuHurayrah:
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: If anyone breaks his fast one day in Ramadan without a concession granted to him by Allah, a perpetual fast will not atone for it.
Now my dilemma is, I have been 'told' this is of no value and the atonement for this should be the same as for example having sex with your wife of husband during the light hours during Ramadan. Freeing a slave or feeding 60 people or fasting 60 days without interruption.
Can someone help me out here please?
And I also wonder - do anyone know of a web-site where one can read explanations to Hadith, like we can read Ibn Kathir to have the tafsir for the Qur'an is there somewhere out the same possibility to for Hadith?
Surley would appreciate your knowledge and answer!
Wasalam
