What is Kaffarah?
Kaffarah is the act of compensation for deliberately breaking or missing a fast during Ramadan without a valid reason. If a fast is deliberately broken, Kaffarah can be fulfilled by either fasting for 60 consecutive days or feeding 60 people in need.

Deliberate breaking of fasts during Ramadan?
This is expiation due for deliberate breaking of the obligatory fasts in the month of Ramadan due to sexual relations with one’s spouse whilst fasting; in this case the expiation is severe: to free a slave. If that is not possible, then one must fast for two consecutive months; if he is not able to do that, then he must feed sixty poor people.
“It makes no difference whether ejaculation occurred or not, so long as intercourse took place. If ejaculation occurred without intercourse no expiation is required, but one still incurs sin and must refrain from eating and drinking for the rest of the day, and must make up that fast.”
Crisis Aid can take care of your Kaffarah payment for just £3 per person. The total cost to feed 60 people for one day is £180.
