ACTIONS THAT BREAK THE FAST AND KAFFARA IS ALSO NECESSARY
If the fast of Ramadan is purposely broken then Kaffara is necessary.
The Kaffara (compensation) is either to free one slave and if
this is not possible then keep sixty fasts consecutively without
a gap and if this is also not possible then feed fully sixty beggars
twice in a day. If the sixty fasts are kept and in the middle
even if one day's fast is missed then you must start the sixty
again the previous ones will not count. If someone had kept fifty
nine fasts and was unable to keep the sixtieth due to illness
etc. then they must start again the previous fifty nine are wasted.
However, if a woman starts her period in between then she must
miss them and continue the fasts once she becomes clean and the
previous fasts before the period started will count and when completing
sixty the Kaffara will be completed [Radd-ul-Mohtar, Bahar, Alamgiri].
When breaking the fast and for Kaffara to become necessary there
are a few conditions that have to be fulfilled and only then the
Kaffara become necessary.
