Ramadhaan & Fasting

Qadha for missed fasts

Q: When can a woman can keep her missed fasts which were left due to menses during the month of Ramadaan? Is it obligatory to keep all missed fasts of Ramadaan in the same year and can not be kept after one or two years?

Terminating one's Kaffara due to illness

Q: I am on my 17 of 60th day for my Kaffarah. I went to the doctor the pills he gave have to be taken four times a day every 6 hours. Last night I got very sick to the point where I vomited 6 times. I have the stomach flu which is a different sickness from the one where I have to take the four pills for. Do I still continue fasting. Our fasts start around 6:03 and end at 4:42 pm.

Doubts regarding one's fast breaking

Q: I'm making up my kaffarah fast (60 consecutively)

1. I was sweating, sweat dried and I licked my lips and swallowed it, did my fast break.

2. I have dry lips, my skin comes of, I licked my lips and the skin went into my mouth, I swallowed it, tried to remove it before doing so but couldn't feel it in my mouth, is my fast broken?

3. This is the second time I have started my kaffarah from scratch, my fasts keep breaking for stupid reasons like this, what can I do?

Stopping one's Kaffara fasts due to an infection

Q: I have been fasting for my kaffarah for about 11 days out of the 60 so far Allhumdulilah. The thing is I have a problem with constant release of Mazi. It is most likely due to an infection. My question is that when I go to the doctor and get the 7 day antibiotic is this a valid Shari reason to cause a break within the 60 days. It's not fully constant all the time but it's enough to make a person change his clothes at least once a day.

Breaking a fast of Ramadhaan

Q: When I was 14 or 15 years old I was angry at something and I stupidly broke my Ramadan fast by drinking water out of anger. I knew my fast broke but I did not eat or drink anything after. I was not aware of the kaffarah masaail as well. Will I have to keep 60 consecutive kaffarah fasts or just 1 qada?

Water going down the throat while keeping kaffara fasts

Q: When I was 13\14 I broke one fast on purpose knowing that it breaks my fast. Some years later I realised that I would have to keep 60 kaffarah fast. So I made them up. I kept 60 in a row everyday intending that it was kaffarah. My problem is I was thinking about this and I am certain that in one or two of the days I had to do ghusl and I remember water going down my throat. Will I have to make all my kaffarah fasts again?

Surma while fasting

Q: Does it invalidate or nullify the fast if you apply surma and sleep during the day? My father has been arguing that while fasting if you sleep during the day with the surma, it nullifies the fast as per some mufti he heard. kindly guide me.
