Fidya Meaning in Islam
Fidya is a compensatory donation given for each fast missed by a person who is genuinely unable to fast and is not expected to regain the ability to make up the fasts. It is connected to feeding or supporting poor and needy people.
Fidya is not a shortcut for someone who can fast or can make up missed fasts later. It applies when fasting is not possible due to a valid long-term reason.
Valid Medical Reason
Fidya applies when a person cannot fast because of chronic illness, advanced age, or a long-term condition.
Unable to Make Up Later
If the person is expected to recover, they should make up the missed fasts as Qada rather than pay Fidya.
For Each Missed Fast
Fidya is calculated per missed fast. For 30 missed fasts, multiply the Fidya amount by 30.
Given to the Needy
Fidya should support eligible poor and needy people, traditionally through food or its equivalent.
Who Should Pay Fidya?
Fidya is for people who cannot fast due to a genuine and long-term inability. It is not for avoidable missed fasts, negligence, or deliberate breaking of fasts.
Fidya May Apply To
- Elderly people who cannot safely fast
- People with chronic illness
- Patients with long-term medical conditions
- People advised medically not to fast permanently
- Those unlikely to recover enough to make up fasts
Fidya Does Not Apply To
- Temporary illness where Qada is possible later
- Travelers who can make up fasts after Ramadan
- Deliberately broken fasts without valid reason
- Missed fasts due to negligence
- People who are able to fast safely
Important Islamic guidance
If your condition is temporary and you expect to recover, you should make up the missed fasts as Qada. If a fast was deliberately broken without a valid reason, Kaffarah may apply instead of Fidya. For personal cases, consult a qualified scholar.

Fidya, Kaffarah, and Qada: What Is the Difference?
Many people confuse Fidya, Kaffarah, and Qada. Each applies to a different situation. Choosing the right one protects your intention and ensures your donation is handled correctly.
| Term | When It Applies | What You Should Do |
|---|---|---|
| Fidya | Long-term inability to fast due to chronic illness, advanced age, or valid medical condition. | Pay Fidya for each missed fast to support poor and needy people. |
| Qada | Temporary illness, travel, or valid reason where the person can make up the fast later. | Make up the missed fasts after Ramadan. |
| Kaffarah | Deliberately breaking or invalidating a fast without a valid reason. | Pay Kaffarah according to Islamic guidance and also make up the fast. |
