Feed Poor

Feed our Muslim brothers in sisters living in poverty by gifting a food pack, or meat of livestock, or prepared meals. Feeding Poor (Miskeen) becomes obligatory as Fidhya, Kaffaara or Nadhr (Nadhuru). It can also be done voluntarily out of goodwill as Sadaqah (charity).

Kaffara

  1. Kaffaara al-Yameen (Breaking a Vow): 10 miskeen
  2. Kaffaara al-Zihar (Akin Wife to Mother): 60 Miskeen
  3. Kaffaara al-Jimau (Intercourse during day time of Ramadan): 60 Miskeen


Fidya

Fidya al-Siyam (Roadha Fidhya): Those who are unable to fast due to any of these reasons shall feed 1 Miskeen on behalf of each missed fast: old age, fatal / chronic illness, pregnant women who break the fast for fear of harming the child, and breastfeeding women.

Nadhr

Nadhr is when a person oblige himself to do something that is not obligatory because of something that he want to happen. If it becomes a reality, he is obliged fulfill it.

Approximately 1.5kg

Yes. Unless it is an infant who cannot consume regular food.

It is not allowed. In the Quran Allah SWT has specifically mentioned to feed poor (إطعام مسكين) as Kaffara, hence there must be a reason or wisdom behind it. Therefore, it is not allowed to change the method of expiation (kaffara).

If they break the fast for fear of harming the child, they must feed poor in addition to making up the fasts of those days.

There are 2 situations for this.

  • If he gets the chance to make up the fasts before death: his heirs must either make up the fast or feed poor.
  • If he did not get the chance to make up for the fasts before death: his heirs are not obliged to do anything.

His heirs are not obliged to do anything.

Make up the missed the fasts and pay fidya (feed poor) for each fast.

  1. Freeing a slave: If he is unable to free a slave, he must
  2. Fast for 60 consecutive days: If he is unable to do so, he must
  3. Feed 60 Miskeen.
