Question

I got married 4 months ago and mistakenly I used the word nifaz instead of janaba while doing bath after monthly periods and was reading namaz and also quran daily. Do I have to give kaffara or I did a big mistake and your advice is appreciated. Please help I am in much dilemma.

Answer

This does not affect you in any way. Do not pay attention to it.

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