Kaffarah
27

What if I cannot fast 60 days for Kaffarah?

If fasting is genuinely not possible, Kaffarah may be fulfilled by feeding the poor.


This applies only when there is reasonable certainty, such as:

  1. Clear physical inability
  2. Past medical experience
  3. Advice from a trusted Muslim doctor


In this case, one must:

  1. Feed 60 poor people two full meals each


Feeding applies only when fasting is truly not possible.
