Question

Can you combine fasting for kafaarat for 3 days and days to make up for Ramadan of 5 days or do you have to fast the full 8 days?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykumwa-rahmatullāhiwa-barakātuh.

It will not be permissible for you to integrate the 3 fasting days of Kaffarah with the 5 qadha days of Ramadhan. You will have to fast all 8 days separately. (1)
