How much is Kaffarah in Pakistan?

Published in Islamic Charity 1 min read

The kaffarah for missing fasts in Pakistan is PKR 5 per missed day. This amount is intended to provide either one person with two meals or two people with one meal.

Understanding Kaffarah

Kaffarah is a religious obligation to compensate for missed fasts during Ramadan. It is a form of charity that involves feeding the poor or needy.

Kaffarah Rate in Pakistan

According to the provided information:

  • The current rate for Kaffarah is PKR 5 per missed fast.

Calculating Kaffarah

  • For each missed fast, you need to pay PKR 5.
  • If you missed all the fasts of Ramadan (assuming 30 fasts), you would need to pay 30 * PKR 5 = PKR 150.
Missed Fasts Kaffarah Amount (PKR)
1 5
5 25
10 50
15 75
20 100
30 150

Example

Let’s say someone missed 7 fasts. They would calculate their Kaffarah as follows:

7 missed fasts * PKR 5/fast = PKR 35

Therefore, they would need to pay PKR 35 as kaffarah.

Important Considerations

  • This rate is specifically for providing meals to the needy.
  • The intention behind Kaffarah is to compensate for missed religious duties.
