سُئِلَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ شَهِدَ عَلَيْهِ شُهُودٌ أَنَّهُ أَفْطَرَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ قَالَ يُسْأَلُ هَلْ عَلَيْكَ فِي إِفْطَارِكَ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ إِثْمٌ فَإِنْ قَالَ لَا فَإِنَّ عَلَى الْإِمَامِ أَنْ يَقْتُلَهُ وَ إِنْ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَإِنَّ عَلَى الْإِمَامِ أَنْ يَنْهَكَهُ ضَرْباً .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Bureyd Al Ijaly who said, ‘Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> was asked about a man against whom witnesses testified that he had broken a Fast during the Month of Ramazan for three days. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He would be asked, ‘Is there a sin upon you regarding your breaking the Fast during the Month of Ramazan?’ So if he says, ‘No’, then it would be upon the Imam<sup>asws</sup> that he<sup>asws</sup> kills him; and if he says, ‘Yes’, so it would be upon the Imam<sup>asws</sup> that he<sup>asws</sup> reprimands him by lashes’.
