QS # 1 : I am keeping Qadha fasts of a deceased person on payment .

If the money is to be given then they must be restricted to buy wheat etc. This has to be ensured that they will follow the instructions. It is necessary to complete the figure of 10 . One person can not be given 10 expiations. QS # 3 : Poor Momin means? ANS : Momin **:** Twelver Shia Poor: Whose expenses are more than his income with respect to his social status .

Expiation For Delaying As stated earlier, fast delayed in this month of Ramadhan are necessary to be kept before the upcoming month of Ramadhan. Zaid was ill. He could not keep 5 fasts of the month of Ramadhan. After the month of Ramadhan: Zaid became alright. But he did not keep the Qadha fast till the next month of Ramadhan came Or 5 days were left to the next month of Ramadhan. It is obvious that 5 fasts were Qadha . Zaid also wants to fast but he became ill and could not keep.

In both the cases it is necessary for Zaid to give expiation for delay and keep Qadha Fasts. Attention : We have discussed the illness of Zaid as just an example. If there is any problem other then illness like travel etc. then the decree will remain the same. If someone did not fast or made the fast void intentionally then his responsibility to keep the Qadha fasts before the next month of Ramadhan remains at its place.

If not done so, he would be required to give expiation for delay as well in addition to the bigger expiation discussed earlier. QS # 1 : What is the expiation for delay? ANS : To give 750 grams of wheat or rice etc. to a Momin poor fellow for every fast NOTE : Giving money will not suffice. If the money is to be given then must be restricted to buy wheat etc. This has to be ensured that he will follow the instructions. Expiations for many days can be given to a single person.

Expiation for delay is applicable only once. If one more year is delayed then the expiation for delay does not increase. QS # 2 : Poor Momin means? ANS : Momin **:** Twelver Shia Poor: Whose expenses are more than his income with respect to his social status .
