Fidya & Kaffarah
Compensate for missed fasts by feeding those in need.
What is Fidya & Kaffarah?
Islam provides pathways for compensation for those who cannot fast during Ramadan, ensuring no one is left without a means to fulfill their spiritual duty.
Fidya (فدية)
Compensation for inability to fast
Fidya is a compensatory donation for those who cannot fast during Ramadan due to chronic illness, advanced age, pregnancy, or other valid reasons. It involves feeding one person in need for each day of fasting missed.
Kaffarah (كفارة)
Expiation for deliberately breaking fast
Kaffarah is required when a Muslim intentionally breaks their fast without a valid reason. The expiation involves fasting for 60 consecutive days, or if unable to do so, feeding 60 people in need.
