The Kaffārah of a Fast Is One of the Three Things
Issue No. 1401- The kaffāra of a fast is one of the three things:(a) to free a slave (b) to fast for two months (c) to completely feed sixty poor people. (It would be sufficient if he gives one mudd (roughly 750 grams) of food such as wheat, barley or similar things to each one of them). One is able to choose between either options, acknowledging that slaves no longer exist. One can give bread whose wheat should be equal to one mudd instead of wheat. Furthermore paying equal amount of money is not sufficient unless one is certain that the money will be spent for buying bread.
