Kaffarah (Breaking the Fast)

When you intentionally break your fast during the month of Ramadan, you are required to make a donation known as kaffarah.

What does kaffara mean?

Kaffara literally means the expiation of a sin or wrong act.

Kaffarafor broken fast

If one breaks the fast without reasons, he must first show sincere repentance to Allah. In addition, one is obliged to fast for two months without interruption. If one is unable to do it, so, he must feed 60 needy people. However, before breaking the two-month fast, one must first have sincerely tried or had the sincere will to do it. Otherwise, atonement in the form of donations instead of fasting is not valid because fasting takes precedence.

Kaffara for broken vows

In addition, Kaffara is to be paid in the event of a vow not being kept. Should one not keep one’s vow, 10 needy people must be fed or clothed as atonement.
