Kaffarah for breaking an oath

· 16 Safar 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I broke an oath which meant that I had to fast for three days. Im a Hanafi and unfortunately I accidently didn't fast consecutively for three days. Does that mean I have to repeat the fasts again?

Answer

Yes.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
