Fidya is a charitable payment given when a person cannot fast in Ramadan due to a valid reason and is unable to make up the fasts later.
Your Fidya helps feed people who struggle with poverty, giving them nourishment and dignity while you fulfil your religious duty.
Through Aghosh UK, your Fidya is delivered as real food to families who need it most.
Fidya is required when someone misses fasting because of a reason they cannot control and will not be able to make up the fasts afterwards.
Valid reasons include:
In these situations, Islam allows you to pay Fidya instead of fasting, so you can still support someone in need and complete your religious obligation.
Fidya is the cost of feeding one poor person for each missed fast.
If you miss ten fasts, you give Fidya for ten meals.
If you miss the entire month for medical reasons, you give Fidya for thirty fasts.
Your Fidya is used to provide:
Your Fidya becomes a source of relief for people who often go days without proper food.
You can pay Fidya:
What matters is that it is given sincerely and that the meals reach eligible recipients.
Aghosh UK ensures your Fidya is handled with amanah. We distribute it as food directly to:
Your donation is used carefully and responsibly so your obligation is fulfilled correctly.
To avoid confusion:
Compensation for intentionally breaking a fast. Feeds sixty people per missed fast.
Given when someone cannot fast due to long term or permanent difficulty. Feeds one person per missed fast.
Annual mandatory charity based on eligible wealth.
Fidya is compassionate. It is not a penalty. It is a mercy for those who physically cannot fast.
If you can make up the fasts, you should do so. Fidya is only for those who cannot fast now or later.
Yes. You can pay for yourself and your dependents.
You can give the cost of the food, and Aghosh UK will convert it into meals for eligible families.
Yes. As long as the meals are given to those in need, it is valid.
If fasting harms them or their child and they cannot make up the fasts later due to ongoing conditions, Fidya applies according to many scholars.
