Q:

1. After making wudhu/rinsing the mouth, the saliva of a fasting person is extremely 'wet,' as though there is some residue of water left. Despite spitting out the saliva numerous times, the excessive ‘wetness’ remains for a long period. Does swallowing such type of saliva invalidate the fast?

2. If so, is Qadha or Kaffaarah necessary?

Q: Last year I wasn't able to fast all my excused days that I broke my fast in ramadhan. I heard from someone before that if you didn't fast all your excused days before the coming ramadhan then you have to pay a specific amount of zakaat according to how many days you left. I had 7 excused days in ramadhan and was only able to fast 5 days. So I had 2 days that I didn't fast from my excused days. I am not sure what I am supposed to do.

Q: What is the significance of fasting for two days?
