Put it right, and feed someone in doing so.
Kaffarah is the expiation prescribed when a fast is deliberately broken or a solemn oath is not kept. It is not a fine. It is a way back, and the way Islam prescribes is to feed people who need the meal.

Why Give Kaffarah
A way back, not a penalty
Kaffarah comes from an Arabic root meaning to cover over. It is the expiation prescribed when an obligation has been broken deliberately, and its purpose is to cover the lapse rather than to punish the person.
It becomes due in two situations: deliberately breaking a fast in Ramadan without a valid reason, and deliberately breaking a solemn oath. Forgetting, or breaking a fast through illness, travel or menstruation, carries no Kaffarah at all.
For a broken fast it ends in feeding sixty people in need, separate from making up the missed day itself, and it accompanies sincere repentance rather than replacing it. Scholars differ on the amount, so please ask a scholar you trust before you give.
Who Can Benefit
Sixty people, sixty meals
The obligation is expressed in people rather than in pounds, which tells you what it is for. Kaffarah exists so that something owed to God is discharged by feeding someone who is hungry.
HF Trust UK fulfils it as food: meals and staple food for people in genuine need across Bangladesh, kept for that purpose rather than absorbed into general running costs.
In practice that means rice, lentils, oil and the rest of a real meal reaching families who have run short: a household whose earner is out of work, an elderly person living alone, a family displaced after flooding.
Why Choose Us
Discharged properly
An obligation is only discharged if it is carried out as prescribed. That is why Kaffarah should not be given as an unspecified donation and hoped for the best.
When you select Kaffarah on the form above it is recorded as Kaffarah and used as food. HF Trust UK is a charity registered in England and Wales, working in Bangladesh through established local teams who identify the households, buy the food and distribute it directly.
Those same teams carry the Trust's wider work in orphan care, food, clean water, medical support and emergency relief. If you are unsure whether what happened carries Kaffarah at all, please ask us or a scholar you trust before deciding an amount.
Quran & Hadith
Expiation in the sources
Quran
"Allah will not call you to account for your thoughtless oaths, but He will hold you accountable for deliberate oaths. The penalty for a broken oath is to feed ten poor people from what you normally feed your own family, or to clothe them, or to free a bondsperson. But if none of this is affordable, then you must fast three days."
Hadith
A man came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) saying he was ruined, having broken his fast in Ramadan. He was asked whether he could free a slave, then whether he could fast two consecutive months, then whether he could feed sixty poor people. He could not. Dates were then brought, and the Prophet told him to give them away as expiation.
Fulfil Your Obligation
Settle it, and let someone eat
You came here to put something right. Kaffarah lets you do that in the way Islam prescribes: not by paying a penalty into the air, but by putting food in front of people who need it. Choose your amount above and we will see that it is used as Kaffarah, properly and without fuss.
