إذَا كَفَّرَ بِالصِّيَامِ وَأَفْطَرَ يَوْمًا بِعُذْرِ مَرَضٍ أَوْ سَفَرٍ فَإِنَّهُ يَسْتَأْنِفُ الصَّوْمَ وَكَذَا لَوْ جَاءَ يَوْمُ الْفِطْرِ أَوْ يَوْمُ النَّحْرِ أَوْ أَيَّامُ التَّشْرِيقِ فَإِنَّهُ يَسْتَأْنِفُ الصَّوْمَ فَإِنْ صَامَ هَذِهِ الْأَيَّامَ وَلَمْ يُفْطِرْ فَإِنَّهُ يَسْتَأْنِفُ أَيْضًا كَذَا فِي الْجَوْهَرَةِ النَّيِّرَةِ.
