Is it permissible to count a sum that was previously donated as expiation for a father breaking his fast in Ramadan, knowing that the intention for expiation came after the donation?
If your father broke his fast due to an illness from which recovery is hoped for, and he was unable to make up for it until the following , then he only needs to make up for it after the following Ramadan. However, if he was able to make up for it but did not do so until the following Ramadan, then he must make up for it along with an expiation for delaying the make-up, which is feeding one poor person for each day (750 grams of food). If his inability to fast is due to an illness from which recovery is not hoped for, then he must pay the by feeding one poor person for each day (750 grams of food). What has been given out on behalf of the father does not suffice as an expiation for him if it becomes obligatory upon him, because the expiation requires the intention from the one upon whom it is obligatory.
