Is it permissible to pay Kaffarah at any time, even after Ramadan, if I couldn't pay it or fast for 6 months?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Kaffara can be paid any time but with out negligence. Kaffara of deliberately not fasting a day of month of Ramadan is feeding sixty poor believers or fasting two months. If you could not fast due to health reasons, you need to pay Fidyah not Kaffara. Fidyah is feeding one poor believer for every day.

'Wassalam.
If someone discovers years later that they unknowingly broke their fast during Ramadan, will they need to make up for the missed fasts and also pay the Kaffara?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

1. Did he break his fast by doing an act which he thought it permissible during fasting then discovered later it invalidates fasting?

2. Was his ignorance avoidable or not avoidable?
3. Was he taught that that act is allowed during fasting then discovered that he was misinformed?

4. What is the invalidating act which he did unknowingly?

The answer to your question depends on these matters.

My niece has a habit of sucking her thumb and cannot sleep or nap without doing so. As she has started fasting, does this habit break her fast?
Seyed Ali Shobayri

Bismillah,

Asalamu Alaykom,

No this would not break the fast unless there was some type of food or liquid on the finger.

May Allah grant you sucesss
If I realize halfway through my fast that there is something stuck in my teeth, what should I do, and is my fasting still valid?
Zoheir Ali Esmail

Bismillah

Thank you for your question. You should remove it and continue fasting. Your fast is only broken by food if you intentionally swallow it.

May you always be successful
