Fidya is a special form of charity in Islam for those who cannot fast during Ramadan due to permanent illness, old age, or chronic conditions. If a person cannot make up missed fasts at any future time, they fulfill the obligation by feeding a needy person for each fast missed.
Allah (SWT) says in the Qur’an:
“Fasting is for a fixed number of days, and if one of you is sick or on a journey, he shall fast the same number of days later. And for those who are unable to fast, there is a ransom (fidya) of feeding a poor person.” (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:184)
The Prophet ﷺ emphasized caring for the needy when one cannot fulfill fasting: “Whoever is unable to fast due to illness or age should feed a poor person for each day missed.” (Sunan Abu Dawood)
Your Fidya becomes meals and dignity for vulnerable families this Ramadan and beyond.

Fidya is a practical solution for those unable to fast and a way to share blessings with the needy. Each missed fast can be compensated by feeding a family in need. By paying Fidya you maintain your spiritual responsibility while spreading mercy and compassion.
Schools of thought (summary): Hanafi — Fidya for those who cannot fast in their lifetime. Shafi’i & Hanbali — for lifelong inability; amounts may vary. Maliki — often recommended. Always seek local scholarly guidance for your case.
Traditionally Fidya equals enough to feed one person per missed fast. In Pakistan for 2026, a common guide is PKR 600 per fast. Multiply missed days × PKR 600, then donate through Roshan Foundation so needy families receive support.
