For those who are unable to fast due to difficulty (elderly, terminally ill, etc.) and does not have hope of being able to make up the fasts, compensation must be given by feeding a poor person per missed fast.

Kafaarah is due on a person who breaks their fast intentionally, e.g by eating or drinking without a valid reason. Kaffaarah is a penalty paid by fasting 60 consecutive days. If this is not possible then Give 60 poor persons 3.5 lbs. (approx. 1.6 kg.) of wheat or its value in cash or food. For more details speak to an alim.

Please Note: The person still needs to make up the fast of Ramadan, which they broke, as the Kaffaarah does not cover the Qadaa.

Fitr means to break fast or to refrain from fasting. Hence the Eid after the fasts of Ramadhaan is called Eid al-Fitr, as it marks the completion of fasting.

On this occasion of happiness, as a sign of gratitude one has to give a specific amount in alms, which is called Sadaqatul Fitr. This is to purify and obtain complete blessings for the fasts of Ramadhan.

Please note: It is Wajib to give Sadaqatul Fitr.
