Fidya is a charitable donation given by those who cannot fast during Ramadan due to illness, pregnancy, old age, or other valid reasons. In Islam, Fidya serves as a way to compensate for missed fasts while helping those in need. Each Fidya donation provides two meals for every fast missed, offering relief to those struggling with food insecurity. If you are unable to make up your fasts, paying Fidya is a meaningful way to give back.
Who can pay Fidya? Those unable to fast due to chronic or short-term illness, pregnancy, old age, or medical conditions requiring regular medication.
How is Fidya paid? Fidya can be given as money or food, ensuring that two meals are provided for each missed fast.
When should Fidya be paid? It should be paid during Ramadan if fasting is not possible and cannot be made up later.
