The answer

When scholars mention qada' (making up missed fasts) and (expiation) in relation to fasting, qada' refers to fasting the days missed from . As for kaffarah, it is of two types: a severe kaffarah for one who intentionally has intercourse during a Ramadan day, and a minor kaffarah for other cases, such as delaying the making up of missed Ramadan fasts without a valid excuse until the next Ramadan begins, or the kaffarah for a nursing or pregnant woman if they break their fast out of fear for the child; in such cases, they must both make up the fasts and offer expiation.
