Give your Fidya & Kaffarah This Ramadan

As we embrace the blessings of Ramadan, it’s essential to fulfill our religious obligations while extending a helping hand to those in need. Giving Fidya or Kaffarah not only fulfills your duty but also ensures that struggling families receive essential meals.

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:"Zakat al-Fitr is to purify the fasting person from indecent words or actions and to provide food for the needy." (Abu Dawood)

Fidya – For Those Unable to Fast

Fidya is a mandatory payment for those who cannot fast due to a valid reason such as chronic illness, pregnancy, old age, or any condition where fasting is permanently difficult. If a person is unable to make up for missed fasts later, Fidya must be given.

• £5 per missed fast provides two meals to a person in need.
• If fasting for the entire month is not possible, the total Fidya is £150.
• Fidya directly supports the poor, ensuring that those who struggle with hunger receive nourishment.

 

Why Give Fidya?

• It allows you to fulfill your obligation while making a direct impact.
• Provides immediate relief to those struggling to find food.
• Helps you earn immense rewards in Ramadan, when good deeds are multiplied.

 

Kaffarah – Making Amends for Deliberately Breaking a Fast

Two options for atonement:

• Feed 60 people – providing two meals per day for 60 individuals or for one person for 60 days (£300 total).
• Fast for 60 consecutive days if financially unable to pay.

 

Why Give Kaffarah?

• It serves as a way to seek forgiveness and make up for broken fasts.
• Supports those facing extreme hunger and hardship.
• Helps restore the blessings of Ramadan by turning mistakes into an act of generosity.
