Fidya

If a person is unable to fast due to a long-term illness, chronic health condition, or old age, and there is no hope of recovery or making up the missed fasts, they are required to offer Fidyah.
It’s worth noting that the details of Fidyah can vary among different schools, and the guidance of a qualified scholar should be sought for specific situations or questions related to Fidyah.

Given the varying positions on what one Sa’ constitutes, the charity has determined a weight of 3kg as sufficient to fulfil the criteria set by all the major schools of jurisprudence.

Fidyah are distributed to widows, orphans and the destitute.
