About Fidyah & Kaffarah

Fidyah and Kaffarah are important concepts in Islamic jurisprudence that pertain to making amends for missed religious obligations or expiating for certain acts. At Al Qayoom Foundation, we recognize the significance of Fidyah and Kaffarah and aim to provide clarity and guidance on these topics to our community. This guide offers comprehensive information on Fidyah, Kaffarah, their definitions, obligations, and how to fulfill them according to Islamic teachings.

Understanding Fidyah

Fidyah is an Islamic term referring to a compensation paid by those unable to fulfill certain religious duties due to legitimate reasons, such as illness, old age, or other valid excuses. It serves as a substitute for actions that cannot be performed, such as fasting during Ramadan or performing Hajj pilgrimage. Fidyah is typically given in the form of food, such as providing meals to the needy.

Understanding Kaffarah

Kaffarah, on the other hand, refers to the act of expiation for certain violations or omissions of religious duties. It is prescribed as a means of seeking forgiveness and purification from sins committed inadvertently or intentionally. Kaffarah may involve fasting for a specified number of days, feeding the needy, or other forms of restitution as prescribed by Islamic law.

When Fidyah & Kaffarah Apply

Fidyah and Kaffarah apply in various circumstances, including:

  • Inability to fast during Ramadan due to illness, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or old age.
  • Intentional breaking of fast during Ramadan without a valid excuse.
  • Failure to fulfill Hajj obligations due to legitimate reasons.
  • Violation of certain oaths or commitments made under oath.

How to Fulfill Fidyah & Kaffarah

Fulfilling Fidyah and Kaffarah obligations requires adherence to specific guidelines outlined in Islamic jurisprudence. For Fidyah, individuals may provide food to the needy equivalent to the value of a prescribed amount.
