Kaffarah is a form of compensation for intentionally breaking a fast during Ramadan without a valid reason. To make amends, a person must either fast for 60 consecutive days or feed 60 needy people at £5 each, totalling £300 for each missed fast.
If there is a valid reason for missing a fast, the person must keep the fast as soon as they are able to. If they are unable to keep their missed fast, the individual must pay Fidya instead.
If you deliberately break a fast without a valid reason, you must pay Kaffarah. However, Fidya (Fidyah) is only paid if you miss a fast but have a valid reason to do so and are unable to make up the fast at any other time in the future. The amount paid for each missed fast is the equivalent of feeding 60 people. However, when paying Fidya, the payment for each missed fast is equivalent to feeding one person.
