Kaffarah

What is the difference between Kaffarah and Kaffarah for oath?

Both require a penalty to be paid, however the amount due for each broken promise/oath and intentionally missed fast, will vary.

The amount paid for each missed fast is the equivalent of feeding 60 people. Therefore, for each missed/intentionally broken fast you must pay £300.

The amount paid for each broken promise/oath is the equivalent of feeding 10 people. As a result, this amounts to £50 for each broken promise.

What is the difference between Kaffarah and Fidya?

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.
