Pay Your Fidyah Online

If Ramadan comes and a person is unable to fast because he is elderly or sick with no hope of recovery, then he is not obliged to fast because he is unable to do so. So he should not fast and he should feed one poor person each day. Pay your Fidyah online and feed the poor and the needy in Pakistan, Gaza, Syria and Yemen.

Reclaim Gift Aid

Gift Aid It!Add 25% more to your donation at no cost to you. A Gift Aid declaration allows Islamic Welfare Trust to claim tax back on eligible donations. It means that for every £1 you donate to Islamic Welfare Trust we can claim back 25p, at no extra cost to you.

By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Islamic Welfare Trust to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that Islamic Welfare Trust will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more, but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When Islamic Welfare Trust receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.

WHAT IS FIDYAH?

If an elderly or sick with no hope of recovery is unable to fast during the month of Ramadan, then he/she should pay Fidyah for their missed fasting days. Fidyah is to feed one poor person each day.

Allah says:

“O you who believe! Observing As-Sawm (the fasting) is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may become Al-Muttaqoon (the pious).

[Observing Sawm (fasts)] for a fixed number of days, but if any of you is ill or on a journey, the same number (should be made up) from other days. And as for those who can fast with difficulty, (e.g. an old man), they have (a choice either to fast or) to feed a Miskeen (poor person) (for every day). But whoever does good of his own accord, it is better for him. And that you fast is better for you if only you know”

[al-Baqarah 2:183-184]

How much is Fidyah for missing Ramadan Fasting?

During the month of Ramadan, the Islamic Welfare Trust organises meals for the poor and needy in Pakistan, Syria, Yemen and Gaza. If you would like to feed the poor daily on behalf of your elderly or sick relatives then we can organise this on your behalf. The cost of feeding one person is £5. Therefore to cover the cost of feeding 30 poor people during the month of Ramadan would be £150.

Help Eradicate Food Poverty this Ramadan

Millions of Muslim families are living on less than £1 a day. This means they cannot afford nutritious food, buy clothes and shoes to protect themselves from harsh weather, and, most worryingly, cannot afford medical treatments if they fall ill, and education is out of their reach. Unfortunately, if this continues, these numbers will continue to grow. We must act, and we must act now.

As a Muslim Charity, we have been helping the poor and needy Muslim families across the world for nearly two decades. However, all this has been made possible with your support and donations. Continue donating to ‘sponsor a food pack appeal’ so we can help bring families out of poverty – one at a time!

If you are looking to donate to the Gaza Emergency Appeal, Yemen Emergency Appeal, Syrian Refugee Crisis Appeal, Turkey-Syria Earthquake Appeal, Afghanistan Emergency Appeal, Pakistan Floods Appeal, Rohingya Refugee Crisis Appeal, or Africa Drought Appeal, Insha’Allah donate with confidence. With your ongoing support, we can only respond to emergencies like conflicts, wars, and crises. We urge you to donate your Sadaqah and Zakat to these appeals so that together we can protect lives throughout the year and in times of crisis.

However, if you are looking to build a Masjid as Sadaqah Jariyah for your loved ones, or if you wish to build a water pump, donate a food pack, sponsor a sewing machine, sponsor an orphan, sponsor a hafiz, or need to give Kaffarah for Breaking an Oath, consider our appeals. Donate to the Ramadan Food Appeal, the Ramadan Zakat Appeal, or simply donate your Zakat to assist the poor and needy around the world. Insha’Allah, donate with confidence for the sake of Allah.
