Can you Combine fasting for Kaffarah for 3 days and days to make up for Ramadan of 5 Days?
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)
