About fidya
Fidya is the compensation, by feeding a person in need for each day, for fasts that someone cannot make up, for example because of old age or a long-term illness. Many mosques and charities publish a suggested amount per day; the value differs by country and by school of thought.
This calculator multiplies the number of days by the amount you enter. It does not decide whether fidya, qada (making up the fast) or kaffarah applies to you. Please ask a qualified scholar about your situation.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between fidya and qada?
Qada means making up a missed fast later. Fidya is feeding a person in need for each missed day when making up the fast is not possible, for example due to old age or long-term illness.
How much is fidya per day?
It is the cost of feeding one person in need for a day. Many mosques and charities publish a suggested amount for each year and country.
Is kaffarah the same as fidya?
No. Kaffarah is a separate expiation for deliberately breaking a fast without a valid excuse. Please consult a scholar about your case.
