Collective Atonement for a Person Who Breaks the Fast with Haram
Issue No. 1405- If a person breaks the fast with something haram, collective atonement, i.e., all three types of kaffāra become obligatory on him as an obligatory precaution. It means that he should free a slave, fast for two months and also feed sixty indigent persons to their fill, (or give one mudd of food which is approximately 750 grams to each of them). If it is not possible for him to offer all three kaffāras mentioned, he should offer any one of them which is possible to him (irrespective of whether the haram act is consuming liquor or engaging in fornication, or sexual intercourse with one’s wife during ḥayḍ, etc.).
