Fidya and Kafaara
We Help You With Your Obligations
The Trust provides ways for Muslims who are unable to fast, with avenues to concede with requirements during the Holy Month of Ramadan.
Fidya
For every one day of missing a fast, an individual is expected to pay the value of approximately 2 kg of wheat. The purpose being that a missed fast is equivalent to feeding a poor person. Fidya is compulsory for those individuals who cannot fast during the month of Ramadan due to either ill health, travelling, old age or menstruation. If they are unable to make up for the fasts, then Fidya is owed. In the UK, this is £5 for each missed fast. This should provide one person with two meals or two people with one meal. If someone misses all the fasts of Ramadan 2023, they would need to concede £150.
Kaffara
This is an opportunity to recompense for individuals who deliberately miss or break a fast during Ramadan without a valid reason. Usually, if a person misses a day of fasting unnecessarily, he or she should either fast for 60 consecutive days or feed 60 poor people.
