uphold is allowed the Kaff\rah <strong>of</strong> breaking an oath. Whoever imposes<br />
such a Nadhr upon themself which they can uphold, they must<br />
uphold it.”<br />

Fidyah<br />
As mentioned before, Fidyah is compensation for those %al\h or fasts<br />
missed by a person who is terminally ill and physically incapable <strong>of</strong><br />
performing them, or a person who did not <strong>of</strong>fer them before passing<br />
away (in this case the money is taken from a third <strong>of</strong> the estate if the<br />
deceased bequeathed that fidyah should be given for his missed<br />
actions). Fidyah is also given as compensation for (minor) mistakes<br />
made in *ajj or `Umrah.<br />
<strong>The</strong> amount for each missed %al\h or %awm, or each minor mistake in<br />
*ajj is to give 1.6kg <strong>of</strong> wheat or its value (i.e. the same amount given<br />
for %adaqah al-Fitr) to the poor.<br />
Kaff\rah<br />
As mentioned previously, there are two types <strong>of</strong> Kaff\rah.<br />
<strong>The</strong> greater Kaff\rah: For redemption <strong>of</strong> this a person must fast for<br />
sixty consecutive days. Only if one is not able to do this can one feed<br />
sixty poor people for a day (i.e. two meals a day, with each meal being<br />
equivalent to one fidyah in value).<br />
<strong>The</strong> lesser Kaff\rah: For redemption <strong>of</strong> this a person may feed ten<br />
poor people for two meals in one day, or give each one <strong>of</strong> them<br />
clothing. Only if one is unable to do this, can one fast for three<br />
consecutive days (<strong>The</strong> order is different from the greater Kaff\rah).<br />
