Question: How does one compensate for breaking a fast in Ramadan?

Answer: If a person, intentionally, breaks a fast during Ramadan - with no valid reason - then he has to compensate with Kaffarah (expiation) i.e. to fast for sixty consecutive days. In addition to the Kaffarah, the person should also observe a Qadha Fast (make-up) for the day on which the fast was broken.

Question: Is it necessary to make an intention for Qadha fast?

Answer: Yes, it is essential to make an intention when observing the Qadha fast. The intention should be made before the start of the fast (i.e. before the break of dawn of that particular day).

It is also necessary to stipulate, for which day you are making Qadha. This may be acheived by making an intention that you are keeping the Qadha of the 'first' or 'last' fast in your obligation.

Question: I missed fast in Ramadan due to my menses. Can I fast in Shawwal with two intentions: Qadha and fulfilling the 6 days of Shawwal Sunnah fast?

Answer: The two fast cannot be combined in one intention. The Qadha fast should be observed separately from 6 fast of Shawwal.
