Fidya

Pay Your Fidya. Feed Someone in Need.

Across the world, missing a meal is not a temporary sacrifice — it is a daily hardship. Poverty, displacement and rising food costs have left millions struggling to secure even basic nourishment.

$10 – Fidya 1 day. Provides two meals to a vulnerable person. Choose this option if you missed one day of fasting.

How does it work?

If you missed a fast last Ramadan because you were unwell, nursing, pregnant, or traveling, then you must make this up – either by fasting the days missed, or, if you’re unlikely to be able to make up this fast, by paying Fidya, which should provide two meals to another person per missed fast. This year, Fidya costs $10 per fasting day missed.

If you know that you won’t be able to make up the fasts you’ll miss this Ramadan at a later date, then it’s preferable to pay your Fidya in advance, so that you can help vulnerable people to break their fast during Ramadan.
