Expiation for having sexual intercourse during the daytime in Ramadan
Someone broke his fast ten times in Ramadan by having sexual intercourse, so he is required to expiate for this by fasting ten sets of two consecutive months.

Expiation for Breaking Fast: Amount and Types
How and when should the one who suffers an incurable sickness compensate for the days of fasting that he misses in Ramadan? Should the compensation be given as food or money? If I provide the compensation as money, how much should I pay per missed day? Can I pay the money of the entire month all at once or should I pay day by day?

Not Stipulated To Offer Expiation In Full All At Once
I broke my fast for several days in Ramadan because I was pregnant. I did not make up for that until now.

Putting expiation in public donation fund is not valid
I did not make up many missed days of Ramadan. Several Ramadans have passed, and I did not make up missed fasts out of laziness. I have recently come to know that this is impermissible and that I have to feed one poor person as expiation for each day that I did not make up for. I do not know how to reach such poor persons to give them food. Is it permissible.. More

Feeding is not valid as an expiation unless one is unable to fast
I only fast during Ramadan. Of course, I break my fast whenever I have menses or postnatal bleeding. Additionaly, I occasionally break the fast without a sharia-approved reason. I never, however, make up for the days of fasting that I miss. I forgot how many days I have missed so far through my life since I have been doing this for years. What should.. More

Expiation for breaking the fast may be sent to any country
Two years ago, I had to break my fast in Ramadan because I had my menses. I have not yet fasted those days that I missed. What should I do? Please note that I live in the United States and that I might not find poor Muslims to give them the expiation that I have to pay for each day of fasting I have missed.

Paying expiation on behalf of another person is not valid except with his permission
I would like to ask if I have the right to pay expiation on behalf of my husband, on account that he may refuse to pay it. It is most likely that he will refuse to pay it. Is it permissible for me to pay it without telling him so that he may not bear the sin, and in this way I would help him not to commit a sin? He is quick-tempered and I must not tell.. More

Expiation is not waived on account of ignorance of its ruling
I want to know what to do as I broke my fast for three days in Ramadan, not because a legal excuse, but because of having sexual intercourse with my wife. I did not know that the punishment for this is to fast two consecutive months. Is there another option to expiate for this violation? If the other option is to offer food in charity, is it permissible.. More

I missed days of fasting in Ramadan for more than nine years. I used to miss 7 days in every year. That makes the total of 49 days. Shall I give charity in expiation for these missed days? If yes, would it be alright if I send the food to countries where there are people who need it? .. More

Ruling on giving expiation food to non-Muslims
Asalamu alaikum My question is about giving food-based kafaraah in the UK. I need to feed some needy people as expiation for my sins, but since the UK is a majority non-Muslim country, I have no idea where to access needy Muslims whom I can feed. I know lots of Muslims who are living in decent housing with reasonable income, but none who are destitute... More
