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?

Does playing video games that involves violence break your fast?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

It does not break the fast no matter how bad it is. Fast breaks only in commuting any of the nine Mufattiraat ( fasting invalidating acts)e.g. Eating, drinking, smoking, lying on Allah or on The Infallible etc.

Many sinful acts do not invalidate fast despite the fact that they are sinful.
