Today's Thursday, Sunnah Fast, Fast if you are able to.
Ramaḍān Fatwa #281 | Breaking compensatory Sawm(fasting), thinking it is the same as voluntary Sawm(fasting) | Permanent Committee for Research and Verdicts
Q: I did not observe Sawm (Fast) on one of the days of Ramadan because of an illness. Afterwards, I made up for that day, but at ten o'clock in the morning on that day, some guests visited me at home and I broke my Sawm, as I thought that compensatory Sawm carries the same ruling as voluntary Sawm. Then, in a religious session I heard that I was mistaken for doing so, and the preacher told me to ask Your Eminence. I hope to know the ruling on what I have done, and what I should do.
_In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy, and may peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ) ._
A: Whoever commences an obligatory Sawm like making up for a missed day of Ramadan or any other obligatory Sawm like that for vowing or for an oath is forbidden to break their Sawm without a Shar`y (Islamically lawful) excuse, because when one commences an obligatory Sawm, he has to complete it unless he has a Shar`y excuse.
However, if one breaks that type of Sawm without a Shar`y excuse, they will not have to offer a Kaffarah but will have to make up for the days they broke whether they did so with or without a Shar`y excuse. Nevertheless, they are sinful for breaking the obligatory Sawm without a Shar`y excuse, and thus have to offer Tawbah (repentance to Allah) and Istighfar (seeking forgiveness from Allah) and resolve not to do so any more.
May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
