The Sufficient (Vol 4) · Hadith 547 (#Ḥadīth #2)

2ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ صِيَامُ كَفَّارَةِ الْيَمِينِ فِي الظِّهَارِ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ وَالتَّتَابُعُ أَنْ يَصُومَ شَهْراً وَيَصُومَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الآخَرِ أَيَّاماً أَوْ شَيْئاً مِنْهُ فَإِنْ عَرَضَ لَهُ شَيْءٌ يُفْطَرُ فِيهِ أَفْطَرَ ثُمَّ قَضَى مَا بَقِيَ عَلَيْهِ وَإِنْ صَامَ شَهْراً ثُمَّ عَرَضَ لَهُ شَيْءٌ فَأَفْطَرَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَصُومَ مِنَ الآخَرِ شَيْئاً فَلَمْ يُتَابِعْ أَعَادَ الصِّيَامَ كُلَّهُ.

2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy, from Abu ‘Abdillah , who said, ‘In fasting, as expiation for an oath in the case of Dhihar which is two consecutive months of fasting, consecutive order is established by fasting one whole month and certain days of the next month or something thereof. Thereafter if something occurs to him he may eat and then carry out Qada’ (compensatory fast) of what remains of the two months. If one fasts for one month only, then something occurs before fasting even one day of the second month, because of which one stops fasting, consecutive order becomes invalid; thus one is required to start all over again.’”
