Is it necessary to make Kafarah for mindless statements like "wallah he's crazy" when referring to a sane person, used merely to emphasize someone's dramatic behavior? I'm trying to control my mindless expressions, but sometimes they slip out.
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Allah Says in Quran : He (human being) never alter an word with out two angles write it. Sura Qaaf, verse 18.

We must avoid mentioning others in any mindless statement. We need then to seek forgiveness from them otherwise we might loose or good deeds to them or carry their bad deeds. We need to repeat Estighfaar and be careful before any word we alter.

Is there a Kaffara for going against what came in Istekhara?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

There is no Kaffara for disobeying the guidance of the Istekhara but there is a harm in someway which we might know later if we go against the guidance of valid Istekhara.

Is the Hadith authentic that states a person must pay Sadaqa and Kaffara for saying "Ramadan" without specifying "the month of Ramadan"? If it is reliable, how much should one pay, especially if they are unsure how many times this occurred?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

This narration is mentioned in Al-Kaafi, Fasting chapter, part 4. It is not obligatory to pay Kaffara for just saying that although it is not good to say Ramadan only instead of saying Month of Ramadan. It is always good to give Sadaqa for any good reason.

While observing Kaffarah fasting for 60 days, if a person has plans that prevent them from fasting, such as traveling before Zuhr, are these valid excuses to skip certain days? Will this impact the completion of their Kaffarah?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

If he traveled during the fasting of sixty days of Kaffara, he must fast the days of the traveling immediately after the travel and continue fasting the remains days of the sixty. If he traveled  and did not compensate the days of the travel immediately and made a deliberate gap, he will then  need to restart the Kaffara fast again.

Wassalam.
