Question
I had to keep a 60 day consecutive Fast as Kaffaarah for having deliberately broken a Ramadhaan Fast without valid reason. Without thinking I began the Kaffaarah Fasting in the middle of the month of Shawwaal. Before the Kaffaarah could be completed, it was Eidul Adha. What is the state of my Kaffaarah?
Answer
Your Kaffaarah is invalid. Since the 60 day sequence has been interrupted and discontinued by the interspersing of Eid and the Days of Tashreek, you have to start the Kaffaarah from the beginning. All the other Fasts will be Nafl.
