My parents are not well enough to fast during Ramadan. Can I give the Kaffarah to a relative? Should it be given at the end of this month, or can this year's Kaffarah be given during the course of the year before the next Ramadan?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'āla

It is not kaffarah that they pay. It is fidyah, which is 750g of certain food items, per day. You can give it to a relative, if they are needy, and it can be given at any time. 

And Allah knows best
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.

If I delayed a Qadha fast from 2 years unknowingly, do I have to pay Fidya?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Qadha fast must be performed before the next month of Ranadhan. If you delay it, then there is a Kaffara for the delaying the Qadha fast. It is feeding one poor person for every delayed day of Qadha. Feeding means giving food either ready meal or food grains like wheat or rice etc. The amount is 750 grams per person per day.

Wassalam.
