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 (twice a day).
During the month of Ramadan, Islamic Welfare Trust organises meals for the poor and needy across Pakistan and Kashmir. If you would like to feed the poor on a daily basis 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.
