Kaffarah Meaning in Islam
Kaffarah is an expiation that applies to certain intentional violations of Islamic obligations. In the context of Ramadan, Kaffarah applies when a person deliberately breaks or invalidates a fast without a valid reason.
It is not the same as missing a fast due to illness, travel, or another valid reason. Kaffarah is connected with repentance, making up the fast as Qada, and fulfilling the prescribed expiation.
Intentional Violation
Kaffarah applies when a person deliberately breaks a Ramadan fast without a valid Islamic excuse.
Qada Is Still Required
The broken fast should also be made up as Qada, along with Kaffarah where applicable.
60 Consecutive Fasts
The primary Kaffarah for an intentionally broken fast is fasting for 60 consecutive days.
Feeding 60 People
If unable to fast 60 consecutive days, a person may feed 60 eligible poor people.
Who Needs to Pay Kaffarah?
Kaffarah applies when a person knowingly and deliberately invalidates a Ramadan fast without a valid reason. The obligation should not be confused with Fidya or ordinary Qada.
Kaffarah May Apply When Someone
- Intentionally eats during a Ramadan fast
- Intentionally drinks during a Ramadan fast
- Deliberately invalidates a fast without a valid reason
- Breaks the fast knowingly and willingly
- Needs to seek repentance and make up the fast
Kaffarah Does Not Usually Apply When
- A fast is missed due to temporary illness
- A traveler misses a fast and can do Qada later
- A person cannot fast due to long-term illness
- A person forgetfully eats or drinks
- A valid Islamic exemption applies
Important Islamic guidance
Kaffarah rules can differ by school of thought and personal circumstance. If your case is complex, consult a qualified scholar. This page provides donor guidance and an online donation pathway based on the existing Transparent Hands Kaffarah structure.
How Much Kaffarah Should You Pay?
The existing Transparent Hands Kaffarah page uses PKR 30,000 for one intentionally broken fast, representing the amount required to feed 60 eligible people. The amount can be multiplied by the number of fasts.
| Broken Fasts | PKR 30,000 per Fast | Equivalent Support | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 fast | PKR 30,000 | Feed 60 eligible people | Kaffarah for one intentionally broken fast |
| 2 fasts | PKR 60,000 | Feed 120 eligible people | Kaffarah for two intentionally broken fasts |
| 3 fasts | PKR 90,000 | Feed 180 eligible people | Kaffarah for three intentionally broken fasts |
Kaffarah, Fidya, and Qada: Clear Difference
Choosing the correct obligation matters. Kaffarah is not a substitute for Fidya, and Fidya is not a substitute for Kaffarah.
| Term | When It Applies | What Is Required |
|---|---|---|
| Kaffarah | Deliberately breaking or invalidating a Ramadan fast without a valid reason. | Make Qada and fulfil Kaffarah: 60 consecutive fasts or feed 60 eligible people if unable. |
| Fidya | Long-term inability to fast due to chronic illness, advanced age, or permanent medical reason. | Pay Fidya for each missed fast to support poor and needy people. |
| Qada | A fast missed due to a valid temporary reason, or a fast that must be made up. | Fast again after Ramadan when able. |
