How to use
- Choose the kaffara type — the meal count is set automatically (for custom, enter it yourself).
- Enter the cost of one day of food (2 meals) for one poor person.
- See the total cost.
Note: This is only a worksheet calculation for the feeding part of kaffara. The real order of kaffara (freeing, fasting, then feeding) and its conditions differ for each type — be sure to confirm with your mufti before acting. You enter the rate yourself; no official rate is claimed.
Tips
- Enter the local cost of feeding one person a proper meal for a day — prices differ between cities, so use your area’s figure.
- The total scales with the number of people the selected kaffara type requires; the breakdown shows the math.
- When unsure which kaffara type applies, ask a knowledgeable scholar — this tool does the arithmetic only.
