What if I cannot fast 60 days for Kaffarah?
Al-Ihsan Foundation Admin·Admin·alihsan admin
If fasting is genuinely not possible, Kaffarah may be fulfilled by feeding the poor.
This applies only when there is reasonable certainty, such as:
- Clear physical inability
- Past medical experience
- Advice from a trusted Muslim doctor
In this case, one must:
- Feed 60 poor people two full meals each
Feeding applies only when fasting is truly not possible.
