Fidya is a religious donation of money or food made to help those in need. It is required when someone is unable to fast during Ramadan due to valid reasons and cannot make up the missed fasts later.
The payment of Fidya provides meals for those who are less fortunate, ensuring that while you may be unable to fast, you can still gain the blessings of Ramadan through charity.
"And upon those who are able [to fast, but with hardship] - a ransom [as substitute] of feeding a poor person [each day]." - Quran 2:184
Fidya is calculated based on the cost of one meal (approximately the cost of 1.5 kg of staple food) multiplied by the number of fasts missed. Our Fidya rate is $10 per day, which provides two meals to a person in need.
