I was impure before the start of Ramadan and did not know that I had to do Ghusl and fasted throughout the whole month. Are my fasts still valid or will I have to make them up?

Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'ala

If you did not know, and you did not have the ability to educate yourself about these things, then your fasting is valid. Otherwise, you will need to do qadha.

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.

Is my fast valid if I mistakenly followed the wrong Sehri time and drank water after the Sehri actually ended?

Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

If you did that thinking that Fajr time did not come yet, your fasting is valid.

Is fasting recommended on Arafat day?

Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Yes it is recommended to fast on A'rafat day for those who are not traveling and don't become weak to perform the recommended A'maal of A'rafah.

Pilgrims in A'rafat don't fast because they are travelers.

Wassalam.
