\nQuestion:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My question relates to kaffarah for broken fasts. During my late teen years, I broke a few fasts by eating (I cannot remember the exact number but it was probably 4-5). I am now 30 years old and trying to rectify any errors I have made in my previous years.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I was not as practising at the time and did not understand the severity of breaking a fast. I would like to rectify my mistakes and seek forgiveness from Allah SWT but I am unsure of the correct process.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The online research I have done is conflicting. Some sources say you must fast for 60 consecutive days as kaffarah and then make up the broken fasts as qadha.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Other sources say fasting for 60 consecutive days is only for those who have broken their fasts through sexual intercourse (which I did not do), and that you only need to do qadha and seek forgiveness if you broke the fast through eating.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are also sources that say you can pay for 60 meals to poor people as kaffarah (instead of 60 consecutive fasts) and do qadha.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I am worried about how I will manage to keep 60 consecutive fasts with work commitments so I wanted to check with a scholar what the correct process is. I would prefer to pay for 60 people as my kaffarah and make up the broken fasts, but if I must keep the 60 consecutive fasts then InshaAllah I will do that instead.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Please could you clarify which one I should do?<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span>– Fast 60 consecutive days and make up the broken fasts<\/span>
\n<\/span>– Pay for 60 poor people and make up the broken fasts<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the Hanafi school, if you deliberately broke your fast by eating, both qadha (making up the missed fasts) and kaffarah (expiation) are required. Kaffarah is required in this case, just as it is for breaking the fast through sexual intercourse.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The forms of kaffarah in the Hanafi school are fasting for 60 consecutive days or feeding 60 poor people.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If the cause of breaking the fast is because of intentionally engaging in sexual intercourse then one is required to do a separate kaffarah for each breaking of the fast. However, if the cause is something else besides intentionally engaging in sexual intercourse then one kaffarah will be sufficient. (Ahsanul Fatawa p.444 v.4)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In your situation, one kaffarah will be sufficient. You will have to fast 60 days consecutively. You will not be allowed to take any break in between.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

May Allah (SWT) make it easy for you and accept your repentance.<\/span><\/p>\n
