Summary
The majority of scholars agree that kaffarah is not obligatory for anyone who breaks a fast other than the obligatory Ramadan fast, whether by eating, drinking or intercourse. This view is held by Imam Nawawi, Ibn Qudamah and Ibn Rushd, while a small minority such as Qatadah differed. Someone who breaks a make-up Ramadan fast must repeat it, repent to Allah and resolve not to repeat the offence.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Maka dalam kes ini, wajib ke atas mereka yang membatalkan puasa qadha Ramadhan untuk mengulangi semula puasa ganti tersebut, bertaubat kepada Allah SWT dan berazam untuk tidak mengulangi kesalahan itu.
