Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee approved a method of calculating kafarah rates for all types of offences. Feeding the poor and needy until they are full is set at RM10.00 per person, while providing clothing is set at RM30.00 per person. The rates are considered reasonable and not contrary to Islamic law, based on current socio-economic conditions.
