FIDYA
Fidya is a charitable donation intended to assist individuals who are unable to fast due to specific circumstances. Serving as a substitute for missed fasts, it enables individuals to fulfill their religious duties.
Paying Fidyah is only permitted for Shaykh Faani, (an extremely elderly person). Shaykh Faani is characterised by profound weakness due to old age, rendering them unable to fast regardless of the season or the ability to fast consecutively or separately. There is no anticipation of them regaining the strength to fast in the future. The amount due corresponds to the cost of feeding a needy person for each day of missed fasting.
Your donation can be spent in any permissible, religious, reformative, spiritual and welfare cause, and, acts of kindness and goodness.
