In Islam, Fidyah (or Fidyah), which encompasses Fidya in Islam, is a vital concept, especially concerning missed fasts during Ramadan. Fidya serves as charitable compensation for those unable to fast due to valid reasons like illness or old age unlike Kaffarah. It holds significant meaning, providing a way for individuals to fulfill their religious obligations while also supporting the less fortunate. Understanding what is Fidyah and its purpose in Islam is crucial for those seeking spiritual purification and seeking to contribute to the community’s well-being through acts of charity.

Families across Sudan continue to face food insecurity amid ongoing displacement. This Ramadan, SAPA teams are distributing structured food packages across Kassala, White Nile, Qadarif, and Kordofan, while central kitchens prepare daily meals in Khartoum and Darfur. Through coordinated distribution and organized kitchen programs, families are receiving consistent and reliable food assistance throughout the month of Ramadan.
For Ramadan 2026, the Fidyah rate is $15 per missed fast in the USA and £13 in the UK. This amount is calculated to provide one person with two meals or two people with one meal, fulfilling the religious requirement for charitable compensation.
Individuals who cannot fast during Ramadan due to illness, old age, or any valid condition preventing them from making up the fasts later are eligible to pay Fidyah.
Fidyah is not a substitute for fasting but a charitable compensation for individuals genuinely unable to fast for valid reasons. It allows them to fulfill their religious duty while supporting those in need by providing essential meals.
Fulfillment of Religious Duty: Fidyah enables individuals who cannot fast due to valid reasons, such as long-term illness or old age, to fulfill their religious duty during Ramadan.
Compassionate Support: By contributing to Fidya, individuals extend compassionate support to those facing challenges in observing fasting, ensuring they can actively participate in the spirit of Ramadan.
Community Assistance: Fidya serves as a means to assist the less fortunate within the community by providing them with essential meals and fostering a sense of communal care and solidarity.
Flexibility in Religious Observance: Fidya allows flexibility in adhering to religious obligations, recognizing that certain circumstances may prevent individuals from observing fasting as mandated.
Equal Participation: Fidya promotes inclusivity, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their ability to fast, has the opportunity to participate actively in the religious practices of Ramadan.
Fidyah is paid for fasts missed due to uncontrollable circumstances (illness/old age). Kaffarah is a penalty paid for intentionally breaking a fast without a valid reason. Kaffarah is significantly higher, usually requiring the feeding of 60 poor people per missed fast.
You can use our Fidyah Calculator above. Simply enter the number of fasts you have missed (e.g., 30 for the whole month), and the tool will automatically calculate the total based on the $15 (USA) or £13 (UK) rate.
You can pay your Fidyah at any time during Ramadan. Many people prefer to pay it at the start of the month for all 30 days, while others pay daily or at the end of the month.
