Interrupting the fasting as expiation during `Eid Al-Adha

A: He should not observe fasting on the day of `Eid Al-Adha (the Festival of the Sacrifice) and should make up for it after fasting the two months. This does not interrupt consecutiveness. The due fasting regarding the expiation of murdering is to fast just two months as Allah (Exalted be He) said: And whoso finds this (the penance of freeing a slave) beyond his means, he must fast for two consecutive months In fasting the two months, he should depend on the sighting of the crescent, i.e. On the Hijri calendar.
