Question Detail:

 
Do i have to pay or fast the kaffarah for a voluntary fast which i broke with a sin?
Im male and have fasted for more than 40 days now because i wasn't in a position to do the other expiations, free a slave, feed the poor etc

Answer :

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
 
Kaffarah literally means penance, atonement, expiation.
 
If one breaks the voluntary fast, one only has to make qadah (repeat) of that fast.
 
There is no further penalty for breaking a voluntary fast.[1]
