Day Questions

If someone intentionally does not fast, does he have to pay Kaffara as well as making up for the fast later?

If they broke their fast knowing that they were obligated to fast then they must pay the Kaffara and make up the lapsed days. In addition to that, if they did not make up the missed days until the next Ramadan, then they must pay 900 grams of dates, wheat, floor, rice, lentils and the like to the needy people for every day that has not been made up.

Can we abort a baby if not doing so will lead to the death of the mother?

Yes, it is permissible if one is certain that it will lead to her death.

Is it allowed to have a life insurance as the dower (mahr)? It requires monthly payments and results in a cash pay-out in case of death.

If one makes his wife the beneficiary on his life insurance policy then it is not valid to consider the paid amount after his death as dower. It is considered as a will.
