Kaffara of breaking the Qadha of one day of Ramadhan...

📌Kaffara of breaking the Qadha of one day of Ramadhan, if broken after Zawal, is: Feeding 10 poor Mumins; and if that is not possible, then fasting three days. Kaffara of breaking the fast of specified Nazar is: Emancipating a slaver If that is not possible, then feeding 10 poor Mumins; or clothing 10 poor Mumins; and if he cannot do any of these then, fasting three days. Note 1. In feeding, it is enough to give each man 1½ pound wheat or rice. Note 2.

📌Whenever in a Kaffara a certain thing is prescribed, its price is not acceptable. For instance, it is not allowed to give money of 1½ pound wheat, or price of shirt and trousers to a poor man. It is obligatory to give him the grain or cloth. Note 3 . When a fast is broken by any Haram thing, like wine etc., all 3 Kaffaras are to be paid (emancipation of slave, 60 days fast, feeding 60 poor Mumins), as a punishment., Note 4 . In two-months-fast, at least 31 days should be fasted consequently.

The remaining 29 days may be fasted with gaps. Salat ul-‘Eidayn The Muslims observe two big festivals in a year. One as ´Eid-ul-Fitr and the other is 'Eid-ul-Azha. These two are the days of great festivity. 'Eid-ul-Fitr is observed at the end of the holy month of Ramadhan. The fasting creates the feelings of faith, spirituality, patience, contentment, and helping the poor. With a view to express our joy on these feelings we observe Eid.

The festivity of the Muslims is not akin to dancing, singing vulgar songs or playing dirty games. We offer our gratefulness to Allah and also offer the Salat ul-‘Eid for those religious, spiritual and moral gains which accrue to us in the holy month of Ramadhan. The Muslims offer sacrifice on the day of 'Eid-ul-Azha. Thus they pledge to give away their lives in the way of Allah and that of Islam. This is a great month for the believer. This is the motto of a Muslim's life.

In happiness of this pledge, we offer prayer of Eid-ul-Azha. Prayer of Eid is not Wajib but Sunnat nowadays when our Present Imam is hidden from our eyes. The niyat (intention) of Salat ul-‘Eid should be done as follows:- "I pray two rak'at Salat of 'Eid-ul-Fitr or 'Eid-ul-Azha Sunnat qurbatan ilallah." In the first rak'at, after Sura Hamd, Sura A'ala is recited then hands are raised for Qunuut.
