If you deliberately miss a fast during Ramadan without good reason, you must either fast for 60 consecutive days or, if this is not possible, pay Kaffarah for breaking fast.
It is a sin to break your fast during Ramadan and if you do so without a valid excuse then you must seek penance. Everyone makes mistakes, but Allah (SWT) will show mercy to those who repent.
Pay your Kaffarah with Zaimah today to provide those in need with nutritious meals through our Worldwide Feeding Programme.
How Much is Kaffarah for Breaking Fast?
If you have intentionally broken your fast and are unable to continue fasting for 2 months consistently, then you must provide someone in need with 2 meals a day for 60 days. This act of repentance is your Kaffarah.
At Zaimah, the cost of providing 2 meals to the less fortunate is £5, so the Kaffarah for breaking your fast deliberately is £300. This payment will compensate for the fact that you have broken your fast, and acts as a penalty for your sins.
Paying Kaffarah for breaking fast is our way of asking Allah (SWT) for forgiveness and making ourselves virtuous for Him once more.
Who Needs to Pay Kaffarah?
Unless you have an acceptable reason for not fasting, you should be practicing abstinence in all forms throughout Ramadan. You will need to pay Kaffarah for breaking fast if you have engaged in any of the following behaviours between sunrise to sunset in Ramadan:
Intentionally eating food or drinking water
Engaging in masturbation or sexual intercourse
Intentionally making yourself throw up
Planning to deliberately miss your fasts
Purposely Hurting yourself, another person or an animal
Smoking tobacco
Chewing gum
Pay Your Kaffarah with Zaimah
Hazrat Abu Huraira narrated: “A person came to our master the Prophet and said, ‘O the Messenger of Allah, I am ruined.’ Our master, the Prophet, asked what happened. He said that he had broken the Ramadan fast intentionally. Our master, the Prophet told him to free a slave. When he said that he had no slave, he ordered him to fast for two months incessantly. When he said that he was unable to do so, he told him to feed poor people.”
In this Hadith, the Prophet (ﷺ) has explained what a Muslim should do to pay Kaffarah for breaking fast. Freeing someone who is enslaved, fasting for 60 days or providing food for the poor are the only acceptable forms of Kaffarah when a fast id deliberately broken.
We have a duty of obedience to Allah (SWT) and if we act against Him, we must do what we can to right our mistakes. Paying Kaffarah for breaking fast intentionally is your responsibility, and must be carried out in good time.
This Ramadan, pay your Kaffarah with Zaimah to feed hungry people in Asia, Africa and the Middle East. The people in our Ummah who are most in need will benefit greatly from your Kaffarah donation.
