Fidya & Kaffarah

From Your Fast to Their Relief

Ramadan is a time to share blessings and care for those in need. Sometimes, fasting can be difficult due to illness, age, or other challenges or mistakes happen and a fast is broken.

Fidya and Kaffarah turn these moments into food for the hungry, support for the vulnerable, and blessings for all.

Why are Fidya and Kaffarah Important?

Both Fidya and Kaffarah show Islam’s spirit of mercy and care for others:

  • Fidya lets those unable to fast still do something good and help others.
  • Kaffarah helps a person repent while providing food and support to those in need.

Giving Fidya or Kaffarah transforms your worship into real relief for others.
