Fidya and Kaffara Guidance

If you are unable to fast due to your age or a medical condition, then a 60-day continuous fast may not an option. This is a situation where you would make Fidya payments of £5 per missed day – though this can be completed in a single bulk payment if you know you will be missing multiple days.

If you are legitimately sick and have been advised against fasting by a medical professional, missing your fast can be repaid in the form of £5 Fidya payments per missed day. On the other hand, if you are sick but still capable of fasting safely and choose not to fast, you must pay Kaffara by completing 60 days of continuous fast or donating funds to feed 60 people in need, per missed fast.

If you begin your Kaffara on the first day of the Islamic month, then fasting continuously for two full Islamic months will suffice for the Kaffara.

The only exceptions for Kaffara are valid medical reasons, such as medical conditions, pregnancy, breastfeeding or travelling. Any woman that deliberately misses a fast and chooses a continuous 60-day fast to make it up is allowed to postpone fasting days for menstruation, however, this is the only interruption allowed.

Fasting during Ramadan is an obligation on all able Muslims and is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, along with faith, prayer, alms (charity giving) and pilgrimage. Abstaining between the hours of sunrise and sunset allows for a period of spiritual reflection and improvement of the self as well as the practising self-discipline and control.

During this time, Muslims are able to develop a closer relationship with Allah (SWT) and feel more connected with both family and Islam.

By missing one of these fundamental aspects of Islam, whether with a valid reason or not, Muslims are obligated to pay Kaffara or Fidya. Charity, as well as compulsory payments like these, emphasise just what an important aspect of Islam the holy month of Ramadan is.

The cost of Fidya is calculated based on the cost of feeding a person two meals per day of wheat, rice or other local staple crop where the donor resides.
