Since I have broken an oath and am currently unemployed without enough money for Kaffarah, should I sell the laptop my father bought for my studies to pay for Kaffarah, or should I fast for three days instead?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

You should not sell the laptop which your father gifted you for your studies  but fast three days as Kaffara for breaking an oath.

Wassalam.
If a child breaks an oath can their parents pay Kaffarah for them?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

There is no Kaffara on non Baligh child, but if his parents wish to pay a Kaffara, they can do so but it is not obligatory neither on them nor on the child.

I broke some fast of Ramadan in the early days of my Bulugh. I have already done the Qaza for them. Do I also need to give Fidya and Kaffara as well?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

If you deliberately broke any the fast of any day of the month of Ramadan, you need to pay Kaffara beside Qaza and Istighfaar. Kaffara for every day of broken or deliberately missed fast is feeding sixty poor believers. Feeding means giving them one meal of food or at least 750 grams of wheat or rice or any food item.

If broke the fast  with out knowing that it is obligatory on you to fast, then just Qaza of the fast is enough.

How can someone deal with a situation when a Nadhr has not been fulfilled and they have forgotten the conditions they had made? Would they only pay Kaffarah?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

If you are sure that you made a Nadhr, then you must fulfill it in every possible way. If you are not sure that you made a Nadhr, then nothing is obligatory on you.
If you did a Nadhr and you deliberately did not fulfill it, there is a Kaffara on you which is: feeding ten poor believers or clothing them. If you are unable to afford that then fasting three days.

Wassalam.
