What is Kaffarah?
Kaffarah means “what is paid to redress an imbalance or to compensate for commissioning a sinful act, i.e. a kind of punishment or penalty”.
Deliberate breaking of fasts during Ramadan
This is expiation due for deliberate breaking of the obligatory fasts in the month of Ramadan due to sexual relations with one’s spouse whilst fasting, in this case the expiation is severe: to free a slave. If that is not possible, then one must fast for two consecutive months; if he is not able to do that, then he must feed sixty poor people.
Crisis Aid can pay your Kafarrah on your behalf at the cost of £3 per person. For example to feed 60 people that will be £180.
