What is Fidya?

Fidya is a penalty imposed on someone who is unable to make up for their missed fasts during Ramadan before the arrival of the next Ramadan.

Paying fidya is mandatory. However, it does not absolve individuals from making up their missed fasts, as they are still required to fulfill the obligation for the number of days they missed.

How Much do I Need to Pay for Fidya?

The Fidya formula generally involves paying a set amount of money for each missed day of fasting during Ramadan, to help feed those in need. The formula typically follows these steps:

  1. Determine the cost of feeding one person for a full day (this can be calculated based on the cost of providing two meals, usually breakfast and dinner).
  2. Multiply the cost per person by the number of days you missed fasting.

For example:

  • If the cost of feeding one person for a day is $12 USD, and you missed 10 days of fasting, the Fidya would be:

    $12 x 10 = $120 USD

*The Fidya amount can vary by location and cost of living, so it's best to consult your local mosque or charity for the accurate amount.

Who Needs to Pay for Fidya?

  • Elderly Muslims who cannot fast due to age or health pay this Fidya.
  • A pregnant or breastfeeding Muslim woman who is unable to fast due to health reasons pay this type of Fidya.
  • Severely ill Muslims who cannot fast pay this Fidya.
  • Mentally ill Muslims who cannot fast pay this Fidya.
  • Traveling Muslims who cannot fast during Ramadan pay for this Fidya.
Pay Fidya

Fidya is typically given to those in need, such as the poor and hungry. The payment is used to provide food or basic necessities for those who are less fortunate. It is often distributed through local mosques, charitable organizations, or Islamic relief groups that ensure it reaches the needy in the community.

Why is Fidya Important in Islam?

"Fasting is for a fixed number of days, and if one of you be sick, or if one of you be on a journey, you will fast the same number of other days later on.

For those who are capable of fasting (but still do not fast) there is a redemption: feeding a needy man for each day missed.

Whoever voluntarily does more good than is required, will find it better for him; and that you should fast is better for you, if you only know,"
Qur’an 2:184
