Ramadan calls us to fast, but illness, age, hardship, or sometimes unintentional error can make that impossible.
Islam does not leave us without a path forward.
Through Fidya and Kaffarah, Allah (swt) provides a way to fulfil our obligation through compassion and care for others.
Your giving this Ramadan feeds those who are struggling and transforms personal hardship into mercy and reward.
Your donation goes directly towards hot, nourishing meals for families facing hunger this Ramadan.
Your support means:
For them, it’s a relief. For you, it’s obedience, mercy, and reward.
If someone cannot fast due to old age, chronic illness, or long-term medical conditions, Fidya may apply.
Ibn ‘Abbas (RA) explained:
“For the old man and old woman who cannot fast, they should feed one poor person for each day.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari 4505)
Fidya allows you to remain connected to Ramadan through giving.
If a fast was deliberately broken without a valid excuse, Kaffarah may be required.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Feed sixty poor people.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari 6710)
Your Kaffarah can do exactly that. One broken fast becomes 60 meals, each providing nourishment, relief, and hope to families who need it most.
Whether through Fidya or Kaffarah, your donation helps transform spiritual responsibility into immediate, meaningful impact.
Families struggling to put food on the table receive meals, dignity, and hope. And you are able to fulfil your obligation while spreading mercy and compassion in the world.
Fulfil Your Obligation and Spread Mercy
Kaffarah is an expiation or penalty for intentionally breaking certain acts of worship, such as deliberately missing a fast during Ramadan without a valid reason. It is required when someone deliberately breaks a fast during Ramadan without a valid excuse (e.g., eating, drinking, or sexual activity).
The Kaffarah typically involves:
Fasting 60 consecutive days, or Feeding 60 poor people if fasting is not possible.
Fidya is a compensation for missed obligatory fasts due to valid excuses like:
Fidya is paid by feeding a poor person for each day of missed fasting. It is meant for those unable to make up for the missed fasts.
No, Kaffarah for intentionally breaking a fast cannot be replaced by Fidya or payment.
The standard measure is one full meal or equivalent to one sa’ (approx. 2.5 to 3 kg) of staple food such as rice, wheat, or dates per person.
