Fidya & Fitrana

What is Fidya?

Fidya is a charitable payment made when someone cannot fast in Ramadan and is not able to make up the missed fasts later (for example, due to old age or a long-term/chronic illness). In practice, it is fulfilled by feeding a person in need for each day of fasting missed.

How much is Fidya?

Fidya is commonly described as feeding one person in need for each missed fast.

What is Fitrana?

Fitrana (also called Zakat al-Fitr) is an obligatory charity given at the end of Ramadan so that people in need can share in the joy of Eid.

When should Fitrana be paid?

Fitrana should be paid during Ramadan, and no later than before the Eid prayer so it can reach those who need it in time.

Who pays Fitrana?

It is paid per person. You give it for yourself and (commonly) for those you are responsible for in your household.
