Question
Asalamualaikum
If one has many invalidated fasts does 1 qadha fast fill in for all of them or a person has to keep the total amount of fasts that have been invalidated
Note: the fasts that were invalidated were such that a qadha fast was to be kept not kaffarah
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
Every fast of Ramadhan that is either broken or not kept must be made Qadha of.[1]
Example: If an individual did not fast for 3 days of Ramdhan, and broke another 3 fasts of Ramdhan, he must make qadha of 6 fasts in total.
The above is based on the assumption that kaffarah was not necessary for the broken fasts.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

أما وجوب الْقَضَاء فَيتَعَلَّق بِمُطلق الْإِفْسَاد سَوَاء كَانَ بِعُذْر أَو بِغَيْر عذر وجد الْإِفْسَاد من حَيْثُ الصُّورَة أَو من حَيْثُ الْمَعْنى فِيهِ شُبْهَة الْإِبَاحَة أَو حرَام من كل وَجه وَذَلِكَ بوصول شَيْء من الْخَارِج إِلَى الْجوف
بدائع الصنائع في ترتيب الشرائع (2/ 94)
وفي الآية دلالة وجوب القضاء على من أفطر بغير عذر لأنه لما وجب القضاء على المريض، والمسافر مع أنهما أفطرا بسبب العذر المبيح للإفطار فلأن يجب على غير ذي العذر أولى،
