Fidyah & Kaffarah

Kaffarah 2023

You will need to pay Kaffarah, or Kaffara, for breaking fasts or making fasts invalid, when there is no good reason, and you cannot fast at a later time for 60 continuous days.
For your broken fast, you will need to pay Kaffarah, as well as make up for that missed fast at a later date.

Here are a few examples of situations when you need to pay Kaffarah:

• Intentionally eating food or drinking water
• Masturbation or sexual intercourse during fasting
• Intentionally making yourself throw up
• Planning or intending to deliberately miss fasts
• Deliberately hurting yourself or any other person or animal

If any of the above examples apply to you, and you cannot fast at a later time for 60 days in a row, you will need to pay Kaffarah.

How much is Kaffarah?

According to the Quran, you need to provide 60 meals, to atone for your broken fast. Donate your Kaffarah with us, and you will pay £4 a day for two meals over a period of one month (30 days), costing £120 in total.

100% of your Kaffarah will provide healthy, nutritious food for someone who is struggling, for an entire month.
