Last year we followed a prayer calendar and fasted accordingto it. For some reason we then followed another calendar where suhoor was later because we were not sure if fajr was in correct time. Then we again returned to the old calendar cause it was safer. Do we have to make up those fasted days because we ate suhoor later and maybe fajr had already began?

Please could you advise regarding the times we have for fasting in the UK. Most masajid I believe will do end of suhur at around 3am but there are few masajid who will use 1am. I have read this is due to the 15 and 18 degree rulings but I don’t understand them. Please can you advise what we should do as this creates differences within families etc. Jazak Allah khair Wasalaam

Last Ramadan I visited ENT doctor while fasting (I had a sinus) he inserted a tampon soaked with small amount of medicine into my nostril. Do I have to make up for that day? I might felt the taste of medicine in my throat after some time but I spitted out in order to clean my throat.

This is a valid reason. No need to make up nawafil fast. Moreover, Nawafil are not obligatory fasts and one can break them without making them up again.

Your question is not clear! Once the dawn breaks, the adhan is called. Once it is called, you must not drink or eat and must fast whether you had prayed fajr or not.

I just started fasting to make up one of my missed Ramadan fasts together with the Sunnah Monday fast. A little before Shurooq, my husband arrived after a 4-day Umrah trip and insisted on sex. He said it was a matter of my iman (even though I had chatted with him a few hours before and informed him of my intention to fast). Hence I broke my fast and we had sex. Did I sin? What is the expiation?

You did sin as this was mandatory for you to continue fasting. There is no expiation. Only repent and ask Allah for forgiveness.
