Understanding Kaffarah: A Guide to Compensating for Intentionally Broken Fasts
In Islam, fasting during the holy month of Ramadan is a fundamental pillar of faith. However, there are instances where an individual may intentionally break their fast without a valid reason. In such cases, Kaffarah serves as a means to atone for this action.
What is Kaffarah?
Kaffarah is a form of compensation required when a fast is deliberately broken without a valid reason during Ramadan. This act of atonement ensures that the individual seeks forgiveness and maintains their spiritual commitment.
When is Kaffarah Required?
Kaffarah becomes obligatory in the following situations:
Deliberate Actions: Engaging in actions such as eating, drinking, or sexual relations during daylight hours in Ramadan without a valid excuse.
Invalid Oaths: Breaking an oath or vow made to Allah without a valid reason.
How to Fulfill Kaffarah:
The method of fulfilling Kaffarah varies based on the situation:
Feeding the Poor: Provide two meals to 60 needy individuals.
Fasting: Fast for 60 consecutive days.
Combination: If unable to fast for 60 days, feed 60 poor individuals.
Calculating Kaffarah:
The cost of feeding one person is approximately £5. Therefore, the total amount for Kaffarah is £300 for each intentionally broken fast.

To facilitate the process, organisations like ours offer platforms to pay Kaffarah online. This ensures that your contribution reaches those in need promptly.
Conclusion:
Kaffarah serves as a means to seek forgiveness and maintain the sanctity of fasting during Ramadan. By fulfilling this obligation, individuals demonstrate their commitment to their faith and their responsibility towards the community.
