Muhammad ibn Yaqub, from Muhammad ibn Yahya, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Uthman ibn Isa, from Samaah ibn Mihran, who said: I (narrator) asked Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, about ‘a man upon whom there is the fasting of two consecutive months, may he separate between the days?’ Imam عليه السلام said: “If he has fasted more than a month and joined it, then an affair occurred for him and he broke the fast, there is no harm. But if it was less than a month or a month, then upon him is to repeat the fasting.”
