Question:
Bismillahirahmanaraheem, Asalaamualaykum. My marja is Ayatollah Sistani. I intentionally broke some fasts and according to the rulings I have to make up qaza fasts and also pay kaffara. I cannot remember the exact amount of fasts that I broke, how should I estimate the number? If I do not pay the kaffara for the fasts and do not make up the qaza fasts until after the next Ramadan, does the number of qaza fasts and kaffara amount multiply, or does it stay the same? Also, do I still have to pay the kaffara if I was ignorant about the ruling of kaffara during the time I intentionally broke the fasts? In the case of paying the kaffara money, instead of directly feeding the persons, is it allowed to give the kaffara money through an organization? JazakAllah Khair.

Q1. I intentionally broke some fasts and according to the rulings I have to

> *A2. Kaffara will remain the same, but Qaza of last month of Ramadhan must

Question:
Salaam Alaykum Syed I have one question to ask, are we allowed to exchange our current gold and purchase a new one?
Answer:
Yes it is allowed.
If the gold or any item was not used for one year, then Khums becomes
obligatory on it or its current value.
