1. The kaffarah for breaking the fast of Ramadaan is that the person must fast for two consecutive months. It is not permissible to keep a few fasts, stop fasting for a few days, and recommence fasting. If for some reason or the other, one or two fasts in-between are missed out, then the fast for two months will have to be restarted. However, thefasts that a woman misses due to her monthly haid, are forgiven. By not fasting on these days, no harm is caused to the kaffarah. However, once she is purified from her haid, she should immediately recommence with the fasting and complete the sixty days. 2. If a few fasts are missed because of nifaas, and the full sixty days could not be kept consecutively, the kaffarah will stillnot be correct. The fasts will have to be started all over again. 3. If a few fasts of kaffarah are missed due to some problem or sickness, even then the fasts will have to be re-started once the person is cured from that sickness. 4. If the month of Ramadaan comes in-between the kaffarah fasts, the kaffarah will not be valid. 5. If a person does not have the strength to keep the fasts, he should feed sixty poor persons twice a day with a full meal. They must be allowed to eat as much as possible. 6. If there are a few children included among these poor persons, this will not be permissible. One will have to feed additional poor persons in place of these children. Ahmad Al-husary
