What is Kaffarah?

Kaffarah is a form of charitable atonement in Islam required when a Muslim intentionally breaks a fast during Ramadan without a valid reason, or when a person breaks a solemn oath. It is a way to seek forgiveness from Allah (SWT) and restore spiritual balance.

One primary way to fulfill Kaffarah for a broken fast is fasting sixty continuous days — or, if unable, feeding sixty poor people. A common Pakistan guide for 2026 uses the wheat meal rate so donors can fulfill the feeding option through trusted charities.

“And those who break their oaths after swearing them… they shall compensate by feeding ten needy persons, or clothing them, or freeing a slave. Those who cannot afford it must fast three days.” — Surah Al-Ma’idah (5:89)

“Whoever intentionally breaks a fast during Ramadan must fast sixty continuous days, or feed sixty poor persons if unable to fast.” — Sunan Abu Dawood

Kaffarah for Broken Fasts

If you deliberately miss or break a fast in Ramadan without a valid excuse:

  1. Fast continuously for 60 days, or
  2. If unable to fast, feed 60 poor people at the current local rate.
Feeding option: confirm current local rates with a scholar

Kaffarah for Breaking Oaths

If you break a promise or oath:

  1. Seek sincere forgiveness from Allah (SWT).
  2. Feed 10 needy people — or fast three days where applicable.
Feeding / fasting options as per scholarly guidance
