This is a religious (fiqh) matter, and expiation (kaffarah) does not apply uniformly. Diyanet’s High Council explains that some intentional fast-breaking acts in Ramadan require both making up (qada) and expiation (notably sexual intercourse), while other acts require only making up the fast. Whether there was a valid excuse (illness, travel) also changes the ruling. People sometimes confuse kaffarah with other concepts like fidya/fitrah. Classical descriptions often mention fasting 60 consecutive days or feeding 60 needy persons if unable—yet the key is determining whether kaffarah is required in your specific scenario. The most accurate path is to consult the official Diyanet ruling and clarify the exact case before acting.
