Question:
Salaam. I need to pay kaffara of feeding 60 people. Can you tell me how I can do that here in the UK as I don't know poor people. is there an organisation that I can pay and they will provide food for the poor people? Also how much is in today's money (UK) for feeding 60 poor people? Walsalam
Answer:
The cost of feeding depends on the quality of food. minimum cost of one
meal is between one to two Pounds per person. If you wish to give the poor
better food, it will cost more.

Bismillah Hir Rahman Nir Rahim Salam Alaykum, Please tell me if a person was a Muqalid of Ayatullah Khoi and presently a Muqalid of Ayatullah Sistani, is he allowed to choose the lunar date as per Ayatullah Khoi rulings. Present year Muqalid of Ayatullah Khoyi is one day ahead of Ayatullah Sistani Only this year they can go with Ayatullah Khoi rulings or every year they have to follow the same.

Question ID 1608 Thursday 3rd of July 2014
Question:
I am in doubt about kaffara fidya and qaza regarding an obligatory fast. Some people say it is 60 days of continuous fasting while some say you can give an amount of food to a poor person for each fast, some say it is 60 poor persons who should be fed for each missed fast Please make it clear what these different words mean wassalam
Answer:
Kaffara is different from Fidya. Kaffara is like a penalty on a person who
broke his fast deliberately or did not fast intentionally. Kaffara now
a days is either fasting for two months, or feeding sixty poor persons for
every day of deliberately broken or intentionally left fast. No doubt,
Qadha of missed fast remains obligatory along with the Kaffara.
Fidya is obligatory on those who can not fast and can not keep Qadha. Fidya
is feeding one poor person for every missed fast.
Wassalam.

Question ID 1605 Thursday 3rd of July 2014
Question:
I recently got engaged and long to see my fiancé, who does not live in my province. however this is the month of mahe ramadhan and I have been told it is haram to travel during this month for any reason other than medical attention. is this true? is it haram to travel?
Answer:
No it is not Haraam to travel during the month of Ramadhan. But just
engagement will not allow you to meet your fiance or speak intamcy, with
out reciting the marriage agreement whether permanent or temporary.
You may travel after midday to save your fast of that day and return next
day to reach your town before midday to have your fast valid as well.
Wassalam.
