Pay Fidyah for Ramadan 2025

Fidyah is a form of compensation for those who are unable to fast during Ramadan due to long term illness or old age. If fasting is not possible and cannot be made up later, Islam provides a clear alternative. Fidyah allows you to fulfil your responsibility by feeding someone in need for each day of fasting missed.

If you live in the UK and cannot fast during Ramadan 2025 because of a medical condition or frailty, Fidyah becomes due. The purpose of Fidyah is to ensure that those who are unable to fast still share in the spirit of Ramadan by supporting the poor. It maintains dignity and ensures that hardship does not prevent participation in worship.

Fidyah is calculated per missed fast. Each day requires feeding one person in need. Many people choose to pay Fidyah during Ramadan itself, allowing support to reach those who rely on daily meals. This act brings comfort to others while fulfilling a religious duty with sincerity and care.

Paying Fidyah should feel clear and reassuring. You should know that your contribution is used correctly and reaches people who need it. Giving during Ramadan adds further value, as acts of charity in this month carry greater reward and meaning.

Crisis Aid is a UK registered Islamic charity that helps Muslims fulfil their Fidyah correctly. The charity operates under UK law and follows Islamic guidance in how Fidyah is collected and distributed, ensuring responsibility, transparency, and respect for those receiving support.
