Fidyah

Compensation for fasts that cannot be made up — feeding one person in need for each missed fast.

All donations
What it is

For those who cannot fast in Ramadan due to chronic illness or old age, and cannot make the fasts up later.

Who it's for

Anyone permanently unable to fast. If you can make the fast up later, you make it up — Fidyah is for lasting inability.

How we deliver it

$5 feeds one person in need for one missed fast. Our kitchen serves the meals directly to the poor of Lohajuri.

وَعَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يُطِيقُونَهُۥ فِدْيَةٌ طَعَامُ مِسْكِينٍ
"And upon those who are able [but with hardship] — a ransom of feeding a poor person."
Surah Al-Baqarah · 2:184

Good to know

Common questions.

We set it at $5 — the realistic cost of two modest meals for one person in rural Bangladesh.
30 fasts × $5 = $150 covers a full month of missed fasts.
No. Kaffarah is a larger expiation for deliberately broken fasts — contact us and we will help you calculate it.
