Arabic language they say careful kuffar anil internal as a lumen katha allah look at look at that miles goes here that's me how the work is actually criticizing it's not like nuts i think you know tried they say somebody he but somebody read the bristle squat on you know about but he didn't hear the whole thing about you know in Jahannam but they will be given you know this kind of
drink you know like this which is like a form of punishment they will be drinking but they won't be able to kind of like digestive so so he makes the other all up make me from those who can digest it as well but anyways so right so this cough are is meant to be Pistor it meant to be kuffara how what is the free DN kuffara for how much could it be paid abroad right okay first of all what is the Fijian cover Vidya is when a person
cannot fast for some valid reason and they pay a fee diya okay so it's it's like a kind of full fitting the fast you you pay something and it's the price of a meal to a poor person and that will vary based on location concrete I think in the UK probably being generous probably got four pounds I'm thinking well definitely buy a meal for somebody now Kothari is different kaffarah
is when a person has violated a fast intentionally and the kuffar of one fast is too fast shahe imitative ain't two months consecutively 60 fasts all it's almost subpoena miss Keenan or feeding sixty people now the thing is well and that's not by the way people like in ma'am Malik's method school of Medina doesn't feel that that in a they
feel you do have a choice in them okay you can choose to either fast or choose to pay it's not on a on a basis of not first you have to fast if you can't do it then you have to do this okay so just to kind of make that clear secondly to that that answers what they are what is the kuffara for Cafaro for violation of the fast so intentionally eating intentionally drinking or intentionally engaging in sexual activity anything that violates the fast intentionally now
can it be paid abroad mm-hmm why is the word paid misspelt alright sir right could have we paid abroad mmm my paypal account is I mean it can be if a person feels that the need is more deserving abroad that it's going to be more fruitful more helpful it will basically
deliver a more assisting purpose more propulsive Allah the word if it will meet it will meet its objective I don't know more meaningfully then yes I suppose there's no harm in the but it shouldn't I don't think it should be delayed excessively or anything though if it means it means you're going to wait for months or then I think no but I think nowadays you can just do things really electronically and more or less straight away new money
isn't it PayPal new money anyway so I hope that answers the question that sort of it's a good question some people pay abroad because it's cheaper I think with the fee be a would really count big cities like only a few pounds I think with the kuffara so let's say you have to feed 60 people so now you're thinking well 60 times for all right I'm gonna try not this hour make a
fool of myself right so yeah what is it calculating 240 pounds well of course that was obvious wasn't it 60 times car six times four add a zero come on people right so so the thing is now so 240 pounds yeah that's for one day so imagine a person is on a roll he's banging out the days like there's no tomorrow though he's got like he's knocks out ten days one third of Ramadan come on guys
what's that add another zero huh okay ago I met him okay so he's on a roll now so he's not going to pay 2,000 pounds to make up for ten days you're thinking well I'm also mr. as well then what's the point of like since I've come so far off my own back Mazal venture a bit more into this on this journey so I think now if that person thought look realistically speaking I can't pay that but can I feed
so let's say 64 1 now can I feed 600 people abroad well let's say abroad buying a meal might cost him let's say in my custom like 90 pence might do either 9 Pakistan could you say for about I mean I'm sure that like 100 rupees yeah hundred rupees is what about 69 70 vents don't events here so so for seventy pence I'm sure 400 I mean I probably not the right meal but I mean I'm sure you can buy a certain you can buy like addition and some rotis and I'm sure you can
right you could went several years back otherwise Easter I'm sure you can actually so now if he's thinking look yeah 600 of them I can feed that so that's doable so in that case what I'm trying to say is if you see if you're doing this to just save money I suppose everybody could argue well I suppose what's wrong and saving money there's nothing wrong and saving money but if you're doing this as a way see Allah knows your intentions if you're doing this on the sly like one of
these like okay I just want to give the least petty amount then I think that's wrong and you shouldn't be doing that but if this is going to leave you between the choice of either I'm not going to do this because it's not practical for me to pay 2,000 pounds from my pocket because I don't have that kind of cash to to feed if I if I feed 2,000 pounds then I was enjoying that cute that's a stuff of the poor how much we lost and at the end of the queue myself right and then just robbed it back first
level so in that case well I think if a person thinks here 500 pounds or 400 pounds I can manage abroad and that could feed this many people so yeah why not I mean if it's going to mean the difference between you doing something right making something right then I believe you should do it if you're doing it just to be on the sly like you're totally minted but you think you look I know haha I just now I got anything doing it like that and obviously I think
this is wrong and you know it's unacceptable sake right hope that helps
