How to offer kafaarah (expiation)
19,011When she got her period in Ramadan, she broke her fast and did not make up the missed fasts
15,112Should she give the fidyah to her children and grandchildren or others as an iftar meal?
38,478Her family forced her to break her fast because she was sick – were they sinning? Can she fast if she wants to?
18,411What Happens If You Don’t Make Up Missed Fasts before the Next Ramadan
If a person delays making up missed fasts until the next Ramadan because of an excuse such as ongoing illness, travel, pregnancy or breastfeeding, then he or she only has to make up the fasts. If there was no excuse, then the one who delayed it has to repent and seek forgiveness, and – according to the majority of scholars – he has to offer a Fidyah by feeding one poor person for each day, as well as making up the fasts. The correct view is that the Fidyah is not required, but if one does that in order to be on the safe side, that is good.32,716He had intercourse with his wife during the day in Ramadan and it is difficult for him to fast as expiation for that
13,531The Amount of Fidyah for Not Fasting
If Ramadan comes and a person is unable to fast because he is elderly or sick with no hope of recovery, then he is not obliged to fast, but he should feed one poor person for each day. With regard to the manner of feeding, one has the choice between giving each poor person half a Sa` of food such as rice and the like (i.e., approximately one and a half kilograms) or making food and inviting the poor to eat.103,352What is the definition of the poor to whom the fidyah for not fasting may be given? And how much should be given and when?
38,247There is nothing wrong with giving the entire fidyah to one poor person
