If you are unable to fast during Ramadan due to illness, travel, or menstruation, you can make up the missed fasts when you're able. But for those facing old age or chronic illness, fasting may no longer be possible. In such cases, giving Fidya allows you to fulfil your obligation by providing meals to someone in need, ensuring they don't go hungry during this sacred month.
Fidya is a form of compensation in Islam for those unable to fast during Ramadan due to chronic illness, old age, or other valid reasons. When fasting is not possible, Fidya allows individuals to fulfil their religious duty by providing food to those in need.
At Banbury Madni Masjid, we ensure that Fidya donations reach vulnerable families, offering them essential meals during the blessed month of Ramadan. By giving Fidya, you not only complete your obligation but also bring relief to those struggling with food insecurity.
Fidya is for those who are unable to fast due to illness, old age, or other reasons that prevent them from making up the missed fasts. If you're in this situation, paying Fidya allows you to still fulfil your fasting obligations with compassion and ease.
