Question
Since the age of buloogh I have intentionally broken fasts every Ramadhaan. I became baaligh 10 years ago. Please advise, what I must now do regarding all the Kaffaarahs?
Answer
For having broken fasts intentionally without valid Shar'i reason, Kaffaarah of 60 days is Fardh. However, for one Ramadhaan only one Kaffaarah applies even if many fasts were nullified in that Ramadhaan.
You are liable for ten Kaffaarahs plus the number of fasts broken. You should take the Name of Allah Ta'ala, muster up courage and begin the Kaffaarah. It will be easier to keep the fasts during the short winter days. Once you begin the Kaffarah, the aid of Allah Ta'ala will simplify the obligation for you. May Allah Ta'ala grant you the taufeeq to fulfil this extremely important obligation.
