I broke some fast of Ramadan in the early days of my Bulugh. I have already done the Qaza for them. Do I also need to give Fidya and Kaffara as well?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

If you deliberately broke any the fast of any day of the month of Ramadan, you need to pay Kaffara beside Qaza and Istighfaar. Kaffara for every day of broken or deliberately missed fast is feeding sixty poor believers. Feeding means giving them one meal of food or at least 750 grams of wheat or rice or any food item.

If broke the fast  with out knowing that it is obligatory on you to fast, then just Qaza of the fast is enough.

I travelled to attend a wedding prior to Ramadan. My parents booked our flights knowing Ramadan could have fallen on the day we were flying home. Thus, I could not fast on the first of Ramadan. Do I have to pay Kaffarah?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'ala

You do not need to pay a kaffarah. 

All you must do is redo that day as qadha`. 

And Allah knows best. 
Does praying when you are sick with fever and tired get more rewards in the month of Ramadan?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

The Hadeeth says: Best of deeds is the most difficult. Sharh Osool Al-Kaifi by al-Mazindarani (12:188).

It means that the reward of the good deed is more when it is more difficult.

I know three nights, 19th, 21st and 23rd are among the nights of Qadr according to the Shia. Why is the 23rd of Ramadan considered more likely and preferred in Shia Islam?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

The Prophet (SAWA) and his Holy Progeny Ahlul Bayt (AS) emphasized more on the 23rd night of the month of Ramadan. It is narrated that a Muslim from the tribe of Johaina (Johani) living far away from Madina came to the Prophet asking him: When shall I come to your Masjid in Madina for Laylatul Qadr as I live far away and can not come more than one night? The Prophet replied him as narrated: Come on the 23rd night of the Month of Ramadan. That is why, the 23rd night is called the big night of Qadr and also the night of Al-Johani.

Wassalam.
