Will you give information about the time to intend for kaffarah fasting and the issues that one needs to be careful about while performing kaffarah fasting?

Dear Brother / Sister,

Intention for Ramadan fasting, fasting of vow whose time is determined and nafilah fasting can be made between the evening and duha time the next morning.

Intention for the missed Ramadan fasting, fasting of vow whose time is not determined, broken nafilah fasting and fasting of kaffarah (atonement) can be made between the evening and time of imsak. This kind of fasting is not valid if intention is made after this time period.   

According to Shafiis, intention for nafilah fasting is permissible until the sunset unless something that invalidates fasting is done.

* If a person intends at night for any kind of fasting but gives up before imsak time, this giving up is valid.  

* A separate intention is necessary for every day in Ramadan. For, night interferes and the fasting of each day is regarded as a separate deed of worshipping.

* If a person intends to perform a missed fasting after the sun rises, it is not regarded as missed fasting; it becomes a nafilah fasting. It is necessary to intend for missed fasting before imsak time.

* If a woman who is menstruating intends fasting at night and her menstruation ends before imsak, her intention is valid and she has to perform fasting.
