WHAT IS KAFFARAH?

Kaffarah is a charitable compensation made by Muslims for intentionally breaking any fasts during the holy month of Ramadan, without a valid reason.

How much is Kaffarah

To atone for the intentionally broken obligatory fast, you must fast continuously for 60 days. However, if you are unable to do that, then you must feed 60 poor people at a rate of £5 per person (the cost of an average meal in the UK). As a result, this amounts to £300 for each missed/intentionally broken obligatory fast.

When to pay Kaffarah?

It can be paid at any time throughout the year. You must pay if you have knowingly broken any fasts during the holy month of Ramadan unnecessarily.
