also when keeoing the ones missed due to mensus - do you have to make intentions for each year - becasue i missed different amount of days when on mensus - sometimes i missed 7 sometimes 8 or 3 etc... but i dont remember how many i missed for each year - can i just make the intetion to say i am keeping farz fast for the ones i missed due to mensus ?????
Asalaamu Alaikum, if one misses one fast from the 60 fasts of kaffarah then one has to repeat all 60 again the only exception being a women who comes on in her menses whilst keeping the 60 fasts.
In regards to making up the fasts from those missed because of menses then it will suffice just to count how many fasts one has to keep throughout ones life to the nearest number and then fast them all one by one with the intention in ones heart of making up all the fasts one has missed due to menses throughout the years, rather than having to make seperate intentions for each fast.
And Allah knows best in all matters
