Question ID 675 - Fasting (Sawm) - 2013-08-12 09:30:01 |
salam alakum,
If someone commits a haram act during ramadan when fasting what is the kaffarah according to Sayed Sistani?
I have read paying for 60 poor people to be fed or free slave or 60 days of fasting. He does not state whether it is to do them all or one of them?
Can you please clarify?
also how much is Kaffarh in English money per day for 60 people?
May allah help us in this world and next.
Thank you

Answer:- The Kaffara of breaking the fast deliberately during any day the month of R=
amadhan is either feeding a slave, or fasting two months or feeding sixty po=
or persons. This Kaffara if the fast was broken with lawful food or drink or=
any act which is not originally forbidden, but if the fast was broken by an=
act which is originally forbidden like drinking alcohol, committing fornica=
tion or masturbation etc, then the Kaffara becomes all the three together wh=
ich is called then Kaffaratul Jam'.
Feeding sixty poor person is by giving each of them one meal or at least thr=
ee quarter of Kilogram of any food like rice, dates, wheat etc. the approxim=
ate cost can be around one pound per person if the feeding is in poor countr=
ies like India, Bangladesh or Afghanistan.
Wassalam.
