Kaffarah is a fixed obligation in Islam. In the UK for 2026, the Kaffarah amount is £300 for each fast deliberately broken during Ramadan. This payment feeds 60 poor people.
How Much Is Kaffarah in the UK and Why
The Kaffarah amount in the UK is £300 per fast. This applies when a Ramadan fast is broken deliberately and without a valid Islamic excuse. The ruling is clear and agreed upon by the majority of scholars.
The £300 amount represents feeding 60 poor people. This fulfils the Islamic requirement for expiation. In practice, this is done through meals or essential food packs distributed to people in need.
Kaffarah only applies when intent exists. Eating, drinking, or marital relations during daylight hours of Ramadan by choice require Kaffarah. Forgetting, illness, travel, pregnancy, or old age do not trigger Kaffarah.
The amount is paid for each fast. One deliberately broken fast equals £300. Two fasts equal £600. There is no combined or reduced rate. Each day must be counted accurately.
Some people confuse Kaffarah with Fidyah. They are different. Fidyah applies when fasting is not possible at all. Kaffarah applies when fasting was deliberately broken. Knowing the difference ensures your obligation is fulfilled correctly.
Paying Kaffarah promptly removes the burden. It also ensures food reaches people who rely on this support.
