Q: Is it permissible to make an intention of Qadha for fasts that were missed in Ramadhan and also for the 6 Sunnah fasts of Shawwal? I heard that to get the reward promised in the Hadith you will have to keep 36 fasts (Ramadhaan plus 6 fasts of Shawwaal). Is this correct?

Q: I am keeping my shawwaal fasts. I had misread the ending time for sehri and thought it was 5:11. However in reality the time ended at 5:06 and fajr entry was 5:11. I stopped drinking water 1 minute before 5:11 because I had read sehri ends a minute before fajr entry. Is my fast valid. Do I have to repeat the fast?
Q: I am 25 years old. I missed out fasts during my teen years and I am unsure of how many fasts I've missed. Probably around 30-40. I do however want to give kaffarah for those fasts. Should I re-estimate how many fasts I have missed and pay a kaffarah for each fast, or should I pay one kaffarah for all the missed fasts? Also, how much should one pay for a fast? Or how many people should I feed to suffice for one fast? Jazakallah in advance.
