What if a person breaks his Ramadan fast deliberately for a few times?

If a person breaks his Ramadan fast deliberately for a few times, is he required to pay kaffarah for a few times?

Answer:

According to the valid view, if a Muslim breaks his Ramadan fast deliberately without a justifiable reason for a few times (in one Ramadan or in a few Ramadans), he just pays kaffarah for once. Because “kaffarah” is mainly a penalty for breaking fast and one penalty is enough for few mistakes of which the reasons are the same. However, if breaking the fast intentionally is repeated after paying the kaffarah, a new kaffarah is required. Because this repeating the mistake indicates that the first penalty hasn’t been sufficient to teach a lesson.
