Qadha . Sawm (Fasting) . Menstruation . Travel

I have missed several fasts due to periods and I am also traveling today. Can I just make up Qadha fasts as I cannot afford to feed 60 poor people?

If you missed fasting few days in the month of Ramadan, due to your menstrual period or due to traveling, you just need to keep Qadha fast for every missed day and there is no Kaffara of feeding sixty poor believers. Kaffara is obligatory on those who deliberately leave fasting not because of illness or menstrual period, or traveling.

Ghusl . Qadha . Tayammum . Najasa . Salah (Prayers) . Wudu (Ablution)

What can someone, who is in a state of ritual impurity, do when he is unable to perform Ghusl before his prayers will become Qadha? Will normal ablution suffice if clean sand for Tayammum is not readily available?

When Ghusl is not possible, Tayammum must be performed to perform the obligatory Prayer within its time. Tayammum can be performed on any material of earth e.g. dry soil. Sand, stones, dust, etc. Wudhu does not suffice when Ghusl is not possible, but Tayammum is the only alternative.

Does a 10 year old need to give Kaffarah if they purposely leave a fast in Ramadan without any valid reason even if they have made the Qaza fast afterwards?

Menstruation . Sawm (Fasting) . Qadha

We were told since childhood that we don't have to make up the fasts missed during menstruation. I have recently got to know that we have to keep them as Qaza before next Ramadhan. What should be done for the fasts missed earlier?

Bismihi ta'ala

In these matters it is crucial to refer back to your Marja' taqleed, for the specific ruling, but from the view of A. U. Seyid Sistani, if you were confident you did not have to redo those days as qadha', you do not need to pay kaffarah, but you do need to redo those days as qadha`.

And Allah knows best.
