Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Fasting Sawm Situations in Which Only Qada (not Kaffarah) Is Obligatory 33- Is kaffarah obligatory for a person who had a nocturnal seminal emission and he slept the second sleep until the fajr time while he was used to waking up before? A: In the given question only qada is obligatory and he is not obliged to pay the kaffarah. 34- If a saim had invalidated his sawm by showing the act of, or with the intention of, breaking the sawm (e.g.

he intended to neglect the sawm of that day) and he did not take any thing, or do any practice, that would break the fast, then is kaffarah obligatory in addition to the qada? A: It is sufficient to do qada only. 35- If the saim had taken something which would break the fast before paying attention to the time of fajr and later it appeared that the fajr had already arrived and he had the power to pay attention to it, then what is the ruling? A: In the given question, only qada is obligatory.

36- If a saim had eaten something depending on someone who told him that it was still night while the fajr had already arrived, then would kaffarah rest upon him in the given question? A: There is no kaffarah upon him. 37- If a saim had broken his sawm before the time of maghrib due to the darkness which he suspected to be maghrib although there were no clouds or other things in the sky, then what is ruling of his sawm?

A: He is obliged to do qada and kaffarah, as well, unless he had broken the fast because he was certain that the maghrib had arrived, in such a case only qada would rest upon him. 38- If 2 people, or one person, just had told the saim that maghrib had arrived because they were certain about it, and he broke his fast depending on this and it appeared later that maghrib had not arrived yet. What is the ruling of this? A: There is nothing upon him (neither qada nor kaffarah) in the given question.

39- A mukallaf upon whom the debt of an obligatory sawm is resting (like qada of Ramadan or something else) and he wanted to fast a mustahabb sawm. Would this sawm be correct? A: Sawm al-mustahabb would not be acceptable from those upon whom the debt of an obligatory [wajib] sawm rests like the qada of Ramadan, kaffarah, etc.

Then, if he fasts it and then remembered during the day, his sawm would be considered void and if this was before zawal, he could shift to the niyyah of qada, and his sawm would be correct.
