A person mistakenly eats during Ramadhaan.

Question

A person mistakenly eats during Ramadhaan. Then, thinking that his fast is broken, intentionally eats. What is the ruling?

Answer

In this case only Qadha is incumbent. Kaffaarah is not waajib. However, if despite him being aware of the mas'alah, he intentionally eats, then Kaffaarah will also be compulsory. But if he is genuinely not aware of this mas'alah, then only Qadha is waajib.
