Nafl Fasting compensation

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Qibla.com

Answered by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani

For couple years, I am in practice of keeping Nafl Fast on Mondays. Today (Monday7/02/07) unintentionally I had sexual intercourse with my wife after fajr payers. I break my fast in the morning, because I was scared. Please advise, is my Fast required compensation and what should I have to recompensate with this mistake. By fasting additional days or feeding poor people at home country. Please advise

Answer:
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah,

Breaking a voluntary fast doesn’t require expiation (kaffara) of any kind, and isn’t sinful if there is a reason.
