Question

I recently asked a question about looking at girls while fasting and would first like to thank you for that. Jazakum Allahu khayran. But I read that a look with passion while fasting destroys the fast. You said it doesn't. Does the narraration I read talk about only it's(the fast's) value in reward and it doesn't make it(the fast) invalid? Lastly, another question I asked may have been written badly. I meant to ask that If I'm fasting and get kicked from Islam then make shahada, does my fast become invalid? I'm sorry for the mistake. Jazakum Allah

Answer

1. Yes, the narration refers to the reward being destroyed, not the validity of the fast.

2. Kindly elaborate.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
