Pay Your Kaffara Online with United Muslims
Fasting during Ramadan is compulsory for all Muslims. Kaffarah is an act of atonement and compensation for the intentionally missed or broken fasts. Since Kaffarah donations feed the poor, it serves two objectives; Personal redemption and community assistance.
Calculation of Kaffarah
Kaffarah has a strict calculation mechanism, and each day of missed fasting needs to be accounted for. At United Muslims, we follow the guidance of esteemed Islamic advisors and scholars, so you can fulfil your Kaffarah obligations with ease and peace of mind. Based on the current rate, the Kaffarah amount for each missed fast is £300. You can multiply this amount by the number of missed fasts to know the exact amount of Kaffarah owed. The amount of £300 has been calculated by multiplying the cost of feeding an individual with two meals a day, which is at least £5 by 60. Remember, Kaffarah for each missed fast calls for feeding 60 needy individuals or fasting for sixty consecutive days in addition to the fasting during Ramadan. Our dedicated Kaffarah calculator has been designed for ease of use. Just add the number of missed fasts and calculate the due Kaffarah amount. By utilising this tool, you can ensure your contribution meets the required Islamic standards and calculations.
Differences Between Kaffarah and Fidya
Kaffarah and Fidya both allow Muslims to make up for missed fasts during Ramadan, but , they are very differen. Fidya is compensation for missed fasts due to valid reasons such as long-term illness, old age or things beyond one’s control. It has a less stringent compensation mechanism than the Kaffarah itself. The current Fidya rate is only £5 per person for each missed fast.
Kaffarah, on the other hand, applies when fasts are intentionally missed or broken without a valid reason. It is a stricter form of compensation, with the current rate set at £300 per person for each missed fast.
Both Kaffarah and Fidya donations are used to feed the poor and needy, but the way they are calculated differently. We have dedicated calculators and donation forms for Fidya and Kaffarah so you can fulfil your obligations correctly and easily. Donate today and help us feed the vulnerable Muslim brothers and sisters who rely on the generosity of others.
Why Should You Donate Kaffarah to United Muslims
When you trust us with your Kaffarah donations, you not only perform your duty as commanded by Allah but also become a beacon of hope. Your Kaffarah helps feed those who have been suffering throughout the year and relies on donations during the holy month of Ramadan. Since Kaffarah is supposed to feed the poor and needy, we make sure that every Kaffarah donation is dedicated to feeding programmes.
And as for those who can fast with difficulty, they have (a choice either to fast or) to feed a poor person (for every day).
– Qur’an (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:184)
