Who Must Pay The Fidyah
When a person has either become extremely weak due to old age, or they are suffering from an illness which prevents them from fasting, they are required to pay Fidyah (if they have the means).
This payment is used to feed a person in need two meals for the entire month. We recommend a donation of $15 per missed fast.
Who Must Pay The Kaffarah
Those who break or miss a fast intentionally and without a valid reason must fast for 60 consecutive days. If they are unable to do so, they must pay Kaffarah (expiation) for every missed fast.
Kaffarah is used to feed 60 needy people two meals.

‘Truly, Allah loves those who put their trust in Him’.
