If I didn't know masturbation invalidates fasts, and didn't know what Ghusl Janabah was at a young age, must I repeat prayers and fasting? I don't know for sure this happened during Ramadan, as it was a couple years ago. What should I do?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

If you did not know that masturbation invalidates the fast and you committed masturbation during the days of the month of Ramadan there is no Kaffara on you but Qadha of the fast of that day. If you did not know that Ghusl of Janabah is compulsory for a valid fasting you need to keep Qadha (Qaza) for every day of fasting which you are sure that you were in the state of janabat. Wassalam.
Is it permissible to pay Kaffarah at any time, even after Ramadan, if I couldn't pay it or fast for 6 months?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Kaffara can be paid any time but with out negligence. Kaffara of deliberately not fasting a day of month of Ramadan is feeding sixty poor believers or fasting two months. If you could not fast due to health reasons, you need to pay Fidyah not Kaffara. Fidyah is feeding one poor believer for every day.

'Wassalam.
