The Ruling on a Fasting Person Who Ate Unripe Cucumbers During Ramadan

Question
What is the ruling on a fasting person who ate unripe cucumbers during Ramadan?
Answer

If someone eats unripe cucumbers or other fruits that cannot be eaten before ripening, and they are neither cooked nor salted, they must make up the fast without expiation; due to the lack of complete desire and craving. Otherwise, they must also perform expiation. Refer to Al-Hadiyah Al-Ala'iyah, page 165.
