Qadha for breaking a Qadha Fast
Question
I am keeping my Qadha fasts of Ramadaan and Today my fast broke as I experienced my Haidh whilst fasting? Now, do I have to keep another Qadha fast for breaking Todays Qadha fast of Ramadaan? What is the ruling of a Qadha fast being broken?
Answer
A Qadha fast is only a substitute for the original fast. Hence, you would only have to make one Qadha fast. An additional fast is not required for breaking the Qadha fast. (Shaami 2/560)
And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
