Water entering the throat whilst fasting
Question
I kept a fast with the intention of Qadha. However,I broke the fast accidently by allowing water to enter my throat. I was aware that I was fasting when i drank the water. What is the Kaffarah?
Answer
In the queried scenario, your fast will be invalid and you will have to keep Qadha of the invalid fast. There is no Kaffarah.
