Breaking a Qadha Fast before Noon
Issue No. 1431- A person who performs a qaḍā for the fast of the month of Ramadan can terminate his fast before ẓuhr provided that the time for qaḍā fast is not short, but it is not permissible to terminate the fast after ẓuhr. Similarly, if he is performing the qaḍā of an unspecified fast (e.g., the qaḍā of the fast vowed to be offered), he should not terminate it after ẓuhr – as an obligatory precaution.
