Kaffara is a penalty on those who deliberately break obligatory fast or do not keep it. For those who deliberately don’t fast during the month of Ramadan, for one day,v the Kaffara is either fasting two sequent months or feeding sixty poor believers. It is good to do it as soon as possible and should not be postponed to an extended that it might be forgotten or ignored. Feeding sixty poor believers must be by giving them ready food or food grain and not money. Every ooor believers must must be given either a meal or 750 grams of food grains.
