If you deliberately broke a Ramadan fast without a valid reason, you must pay Kaffarah. For 2026, Kaffarah is £300 for each fast. This feeds 60 people in need. You pay once for every fast intentionally broken.
What Is Kaffarah and When Do You Pay It in 2026
Kaffarah applies when you deliberately break a Ramadan fast without a valid Islamic reason. This includes eating, drinking, or marital relations during daylight hours of Ramadan by choice. You cannot replace this with fasting later alone. You must pay Kaffarah.
For Ramadan 2026, Kaffarah in the UK is set at £300 per fast. This amount feeds 60 poor people. Each person receives two meals or the equivalent staple food. This ruling comes from authentic Islamic sources and is agreed upon by the majority of scholars.
You only pay Kaffarah when the fast was broken intentionally. If you missed a fast due to illness, travel, pregnancy, or old age, Kaffarah does not apply. In those cases, you either make up the fast later or pay Fidyah, depending on your situation.
Many people delay Kaffarah because they feel unsure or uncomfortable. That delay adds weight to the burden. Paying early brings clarity. It also ensures food reaches people when they need it most.
In practice, your £300 provides meals through organised food distribution. Families receive real food. Children eat. The obligation becomes relief for others.
You should calculate carefully. One intentionally broken fast equals one Kaffarah payment. Two broken fasts equal £600. There is no maximum cap.
If you feel regret and want to put things right before or during Ramadan 2026, paying Kaffarah now closes the matter. Your responsibility ends.
