I have broken many fasts of Ramadan

الاستفتاء

I have been married for 18 years. During this time, I have broken many fasts of Ramadan due to having relations with my wife. I have done this for approximately 10-12 times. My question is: will there be a different Kafara (atonement) for each of these fasts? Or, fasting for 60 days will be enough for all the fasts that was broken during this period of 18 years?

الجواب حامدا و مصلیا

If the questioner had broken a number of his fasts by having sexual intercourse with his wife after making his intention to fast in one Ramadan, then one Kafara (atonement by fasting for 60 days) will be enough. However, if he had broken these fasts in many different months of Ramadan, then he must perform a separate atonement for each month of Ramadan.

And Allah knows best
