Who Should Pay Fidyah During Ramadan?
If someone is unable to fast during Ramadan due to old age or a chronic illness with no hope of recovery, they are not required to fast. Instead, they must pay Fidyah — feeding one poor person for each day missed.
This applies to:
-
Elderly individuals with no physical strength to fast
-
People with long-term illnesses that prevent fasting
-
Those who cannot recover or make up fasts later
The Fidyah amount is typically the cost of two daily meals for each missed fast. At U4H, this is set at £5 per day, totalling £150 for the full month of Ramadan.
🔸 Note: If someone is poor and cannot afford to pay Fidyah, they are not required to do so.
Who Is Not Required to Pay Fidyah?
If you are young and healthy but missed fasts due to:
-
Travel
-
Temporary illness
-
Pregnancy or breastfeeding
You are expected to make up the missed fasts after Ramadan when you are able. Fidyah is not required in these cases.
Fidyah is a form of compassion, not a penalty.
It ensures those who cannot fast are still included in the blessings of Ramadan by supporting someone in need.

How Unite 4 Humanity Distribute Your Fidyah?
Fidyah cannot be given in cash. Rather it has to be given in the form of uncooked or cooked food. Once we have received your Fidyah, we will in sha Allah organise the distribution of Rice, Wheat or any other form of food depending on the area we choose.
We ask our donors to leave their donations open so that it is easy for our team to allocate the donations where appropriate. Sometimes the worst-hit areas aren’t in the news and receive very little donations. The more money we will have in the general donation section, the more we are able to change the lives of these people.
How to Give Fidyah?
Fidyah can be given in two forms
- Giving a poor person half a Saa’ of Rice, Wheat or something like that
(1 Saa’ = 1 ½ Kg Approx.) - Cook food and invite the poor and needy
According to a Narration in Bukhari: “As for an old man who is unable to fast, after Anas grew old, for one or two years he fed a poor person with bread and meat and he did not fast.”
Your Fidyah Help Provides Cooked Meals to Children in Refugee Camps.
