Question
A person intentionally broke fasts during several Ramadhaans. Will one Kaffaarah of 60 days and the number of Qadha fasts suffice to expiate him?
Answer
One Kaffaarah suffices for any number of days of fasts destroyed during one Ramadhaan. If for example, 3 fasts were intentionally broken in one Ramadhaan, then one Kaffaarah plus three Qadha will suffice. If fasts were nullified in four Ramadhaans, for example, then 4 Kaffarahs have to be offered. The Kaffaarah penalty will apply if niyyat was made to fast the next day. If there was no niyyat, then only Qadha is applicable.
