Fidya Kaffarah

Kaffarah becomes necessary when someone intentionally violates key Islamic obligations. This includes deliberately breaking a fast during Ramadan without a valid reason or failing to uphold an oath made in Allah’s name. Paying Kaffarah is a way to sincerely repent and make amends through charitable giving or fasting according to Islamic teachings.

If a person deliberately breaks a fast during Ramadan without a valid reason, the Kaffarah is to fast for 60 consecutive days. If they are unable to do so, they must feed 60 poor people. Many Muslims fulfill this obligation by donating through trusted charities, helping provide meals on their behalf. The Kaffarah amount for breaking a fast without a reason is $1,200 per fast.
You can give your Kaffarah quickly at our website.

For breaking a vowed oath, Kaffarah involves one of the following:

• Feeding or clothing 10 poor people, or
• Freeing a slave (where applicable).

If someone cannot afford any of these options, they should fast for 3 days.

The Kaffarah for breaking an oath is $200

• You can easily fulfill this Kaffarah through Penny Appeal Canada’s website.

To calculate Kaffarah, consider what action was broken — a fast or an oath — and follow the Islamic guidelines for compensation. For broken fasts, it equals feeding 60 people or fasting 60 days; for broken oaths, it equals feeding or clothing 10 people or fasting 3 days. You can pay your Fidya or Kaffarah directly at our website.

The main difference between Fidya and Kaffarah lies in intention. Fidya is paid when a person cannot fast due to legitimate reasons such as illness, pregnancy, or old age. Kaffarah, however, is paid when someone intentionally breaks an obligatory fast or oath. Both allow Muslims to fulfill their religious duty while supporting those in need.

Fidya in Islam is compensation paid by a Muslim who cannot fast during Ramadan due to a valid excuse like chronic illness, pregnancy, or old age. Instead of fasting, the person feeds a needy individual for each missed fast, ensuring they still participate in giving back and helping others. You can fulfill your Fidya easily at our website.

The amount of Fidya for each missed fast is equal to the cost of feeding one person two meals per day. The exact amount may vary based on local food prices. The Fidya amount for missing a fast with a valid reason is $20.

The Fidya amount for missing 30 days of fasting without a valid reason is $600

Fidya can be given to those who are poor or in need, defined in Islam as individuals who do not have sufficient means to meet their basic daily needs. Trusted charitable and humanitarian organizations like Penny Appeal Canada distribute Fidya on your behalf to ensure it reaches eligible recipients. Visit our website to fulfill your obligation with confidence.

Fidya becomes due during Ramadan when someone knows they cannot fast for valid reasons such as chronic illness or advanced age. It can be paid right away or later during Ramadan, but ideally before its end. You can easily give your Fidya online through our website to ensure it benefits those in need before Eid.
