Expiation
Kaffarah is the expiation Allah commanded for deliberately broken oaths and broken Ramadan fasts. It's a heavy duty, and a chance to wash the slate clean.
Allah will not impose blame upon you for what is meaningless in your oaths, but He will impose blame upon you for [breaking] what you intended of oaths. So its expiation is the feeding of ten needy people.
— Qur'an 5:89
Everything you need to know before you give.
Kaffarah is the expiation prescribed for serious shortfalls in worship, most commonly:
For the broken fast, you must also make up the missed day separately.
Anyone who has deliberately broken a Ramadan fast or an oath. Kaffarah is heavy, but it is the route Allah Himself prescribed, so don't delay it.
As soon as possible after the breach. Don't postpone, it remains a debt on your record until completed.
Broken fast: approximately £300 (60 people × £5 each) if you choose feeding instead of fasting 60 days.
Broken oath: approximately £50 (10 people × £5 each).
Kaffarah is converted into food parcels for verified needy households, matching the Qur'anic prescription of feeding people two meals each.

Your Kaffarah is converted into food parcels and distributed in Monuhorpur to verified needy households. We confirm distribution by email so you have a record for your own peace of mind.
Because deliberately breaking a Ramadan fast is treated as a serious matter in fiqh, it's the only expiation in the Qur'an that specifies 60 fasts. The intent is deterrence and atonement.
Yes. The 60 meals don't have to be paid in one go, but they should all reach 60 different people, not the same person 60 times.
If you've broken oaths in the past and can't count them, scholars suggest paying enough Kaffarah to cover a reasonable estimate, alongside repentance. For uncertain cases, ask one of our scholars via the Q&A form.
