Issue 825: One, who makes their fast void in one way or another without a valid excuse, must observe the Quadha and make the atonement for it as well.

To do so, they may have one of the following choices:

1- Emancipating a slave

2- Observing fasts for two month thirty one of which must be successively observed.

3- Feeding sixty poor people to their fill or giving each as much as 750 grams of food-stuff, like wheat, barely, bread, etc.

One, who is obliged to atone for the abandonment of the fasts of Ramadhan, must do one of the above-mentioned atonements; as it is not possible nowadays to find slaves (as they are defined in the Islamic Jurisprudence), the second and third choices are usually made; however, if one is not able to make any of these atonements, they many give some food-stuff to the poor and if this is also impossible, they must seek forgiveness of Allah the Almighty and say, “Astaghfir ullah”

Issue 826: If a person breaks their fast with some forbidden thing, whether it is forbidden per se, like wine or adultery, or has become illegal due to some reason, like having sexual intercourse with one’s menstruating wife, they will have to make the full atonement (Kaffarat-ul-Jam’), that is , they must make all the three above-mentioned atonements; so, they must set a slave free, fast for two months, and feed sixty poor people or give each 750 grams of food-stuff like wheat, barely, bread and the like; if it is not possible for them to make all the three atonements, they must make anyone of them which they can afford.

Issue 827: If a man who is fasting in Ramadhan has sexual intercourse with his fasting wife, and if he compels her to do so, he must make the atonements for his fasts as well as his wife’s, but if the wife willfully consents to the sexual intercourse, each will have to make their own atonement for their fast.

Issue 828: If a woman compels her fasting husband to have sexual intercourse with her, she must make the atonement for the husband’s fast.

Issue 829: If a person observing the Quadha of Ramadhan fasting intentionally breaks his fast in the afternoon, they must give food to ten poor people, each 750 grams; and if they cannot do this, they must, as an obligatory precaution, observe fasts for three successive days.
