Question
I broke two rozas without valid reason. Do I have to fast 120 days to compensate for this sin? If yes, should the 120 days be kept altogether or could I keep 60 days, then after some time begin the second 60 days?
Answer
Only one 60 day Kaffaarah applies to the fasts nullified in one Ramadhaan. You don't have to fast 120 days. You have to fast 62 days – 2 days are Qadha and 60 days is the Penalty. Two 60 day Kaffaarah would apply if the fasts were broken in different Ramadhaans.
