Kaffarah is a penalty or expiation that must be paid when a Muslim deliberately breaks their fast during Ramadan without a valid reason. It is a serious matter in Islamic jurisprudence as fasting during Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam.
The Kaffarah requires feeding 60 poor people for each fast that was deliberately broken. This is equivalent to $180 per day broken, based on the cost of providing meals to 60 individuals.
Important:
Kaffarah is different from Fidya. Kaffarah is only required when someone deliberately breaks their fast without any valid Islamic excuse. If you missed a fast due to illness, travel, or other valid reasons, you should pay Fidya instead.
According to Islamic scholars, Kaffarah should be fulfilled in the following order:
Most scholars agree that in today's context, the primary method of paying Kaffarah is by feeding 60 poor people, as freeing a slave is no longer applicable and many people are unable to fast for 60 consecutive days.
