The, question with regard to
kafara or Fidya.
The 2 words.
Kafara is
when there is a
mistake,
and making amends for the mistake is like
paying a fine.
So if you break your fast deliberately,
right, unknowingly,
the fast does not break.
While you are fasting, if you forgetfully eat
something, the fast does not break.
So there's something to remember. Obviously, you should
be careful, but if you happen to eat
something
because you forgot forgetfully,
then the fast is still intact. As soon
as Saddam said, complete the fast.
But if you deliberately break the fast,
then the
kafara for that is to
release pay for the reliefs of our slave
or
to fast
continuously for
60 days
for every fast that you break. This is
to understand the seriousness of that. Right?
Fast for 60 days continuously,
meaning, of course, you take suhoor and iftarbat,
meaning one after the other 60 days.
Or if you are physically incapable of that,
meaning if you are sick and so on.
It's not a question of saying, oh, I
feel tired. I know. But if you are
physically,
medically incapable
of that, then to feed 60 people. So
this is the kafar, but,
usually the question is about fidya,
which is
subwah. What can you pay
in case you cannot fast?
Now two things to understand. First of all,
when you say cannot fast,
cannot fast permanently. So So some medical condition
because of which you cannot fast from now
until you die. For example, people have very
high,
diabetes, very severe diabetes or something like this,
some heart problem and so on where the
doctors have said, look, you cannot fast. It
is dangerous to your life. Now in such
a case,
it is possible to pay somebody else to
fast on your behalf, and the figure for
that is to pay them for suhoor and
iftar
for the whole month.
Right? You do that every year throughout your
life.
But if the fasting cannot be done
for some temporary time,
for example, a nursing mother, for example, through
the women when they have their periods. For
example, if a person if a lady has
given birth to a child just then,
and so she can't fast.
Those days, you cannot pay for this.
Those days have to be made up after
Ramadan is over. So once Ramadan is over,
then she can fast, and this would be
the hada
fast for the ones that she missed,
during Ramadan. The same thing applies to a
man for whatever medical reason. If cannot fast
or if he's travelling, he cannot fast, then
he must make that up after Ramadan
is over.
I hope this is clear as far as
the issue
of missing of fasting is concerned.
Fasting is a pillar of Islam.
Deliberately, we cannot miss it. It is not
possible to do that, so please make sure
that we fast
correctly and at the correct time.
