Qadha requires the individual to fast the missed days at a later date when they are able. Fidya is used when the person cannot fast at any time in the future, ensuring the obligation is fulfilled by feeding the poor instead.
The amount equals the cost of providing one Iftar meal to a needy person for each missed day. Our platform updates the daily rate based on local staple food prices, typically ranging between ā¬5ā10.
Collected Fidya funds are distributed to partner charities that deliver meals to families in need during Ramadan, ensuring the payment directly benefits those who would otherwise go hungry.
