Question<\/p>\n
When I was much younger I broke my fast by eating deliberately on three occasions. Do I have to do Kaffarah for each fast that I broke?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Answer<\/p>\n
\u0628\u0633\u0645 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0627\u0644\u0631\u062d\u0645\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0631\u062d\u064a\u0645<\/p>\n
One Kaffarah will suffice for all the fast that was deliberately broken. Kaffarah is an atonement for the deliberate invalidation of a fast of Ramadhan without a valid Shar\u2019ee reason. It entails fasting sixty consecutive days without any interruption. In addition to the Kaffarah, Qadha is also necessary for each fast that was broken.<\/p>\n
If a person is unable to fast due to a valid Shar\u2019ee reason then he may adopt anyone of the following:<\/p>\n
(a) Feed sixty poor people their fill morning and evening. NB: It is not a condition that they all be gathered collectively.<\/p>\n
(b) Feed a person his fill morning and evening for sixty days (or two poor persons thirty days and so forth)<\/p>\n
(3) Give sixty poor people 1.6kg of wheat, flour etc. or its value in cash. NB: Any other food items may be given with the condition that its value is not be less than the value 1.6kg of wheat<\/p>\n
NB: Kafarah will only be necessary if the following conditions existed:<\/p>\n
(1) The fast deliberately broken was the fast of Ramadhan.<\/p>\n
(2) The person was Baligh (ritually mature).<\/p>\n
(3) His intention for fasting that day was made prior to the break of dawn.<\/p>\n
(4) The reason for breaking the fast was not due to any legitimate Shar\u2019ee reason.<\/p>\n
