What Is Kaffarah With BASMAH
How Much Kaffarah To Pay With BASMAH
On BASMAHโs kaffarah page, the amount is clearly defined so you do not need to calculate manually.
For breaking a Ramadan fast intentionally and being unable to fast 60 days:
- 300 dollars covers kaffarah for 1 deliberately broken fast (feeding 60 poor people).
- 600 dollars covers 2 intentionally broken fasts.
- 900 dollars covers 3 intentionally broken fasts.
For breaking an oath or promise, the kaffarah is different: you must feed 10 poor people, which BASMAH sets at 50 dollars per broken promise (10 people ร 5 dollars). This option is also shown clearly as โ30 Meals for 50 dollarsโ in BASMAHโs donation flows, allowing you to support multiple meals at once.
Paying Kaffarah Online Through BASMAH
When you pay kaffarah online with BASMAH, you are authorizing a trusted, U.S.-registered 501(c)(3) Muslim charity to feed the poor on your behalf. The process follows the fiqh requirement that each broken fast equals feeding 60 poor people, and each broken oath equals feeding 10 poor people.
A simple way to complete your kaffarah with BASMAH:
- Visit BASMAHโs Kaffarah page and select the correct option (fast or oath) and amount (300, 600, 900, or 50 dollars increments).
- Make your niyyah: โO Allah, this is kaffarah for the fast(s)/oath I broke deliberately.โ
- Complete payment securely by card or other available methods.
BASMAH then uses your kaffarah to provide meals for the poor and needy, particularly Rohingya refugees and vulnerable communities, ensuring your payment reaches those who qualify for this form of support.
Kaffarah vs Fidya With BASMAH
BASMAH clearly distinguishes between Kaffarah and Fidya so you can fulfill the correct obligation.
- Kaffarah: For fasts deliberately broken without a valid reason, or broken oaths; requires feeding 60 poor people per fast or 10 per oath (300 dollars or 50 dollars through BASMAH).
- Fidya: For missed fasts with a valid excuse (such as chronic illness or old age) when you cannot make them up later; with BASMAH this is 5 dollars per missed fast, equivalent to feeding one person two meals.
If you are unsure whether you owe Kaffarah or Fidya, you should consult a scholar, then complete the appropriate payment through BASMAHโs dedicated pages.
When To Pay Kaffarah With BASMAH
Kaffarah for intentionally broken fasts can be paid at any time of the year; it does not need to wait until Ramadan. Once you know you owe it and cannot complete 60 consecutive days of fasting, you should pay as soon as you are able, so that:
- Your obligation is cleared without delay.
- Food reaches poor and hungry Muslims quickly through BASMAHโs established programs.
Every kaffarah payment given via BASMAH becomes part of a wider mercy: your personal atonement turns into warm meals and restored dignity for those who live with hunger as a daily test.
