Fidyah for Ramadan UK 2026 – Missed Fasts Payment
Fidyah for Ramadan applies when you cannot fast and cannot make up the missed days later. This includes long-term illness, old age, and situations where medical advice confirms fasting would cause harm and recovery is not expected. In these cases, feeding the poor replaces fasting.
The Fidyah amount in the UK for 2026 is £5 per missed fast. Each payment feeds one person for one day. To calculate, count the number of fasts you missed and multiply by £5. If you missed the entire month, multiply £5 by the number of days in Ramadan. If you missed specific days, count only those days. Payment should be made as soon as possible, ideally during Ramadan, so food reaches people when need is highest.
Fidyah must be used only to feed the poor and needy. It cannot be diverted to other causes. Correct allocation matters for validity. Paying through a trusted charity helps ensure meals or staple food are delivered in line with Islamic rules.
Global Helping Hands enables UK donors to pay Fidyah for Ramadan with confidence. The charity operates a 100 percent donation policy. Public Fidyah funds go directly to feeding eligible recipients. Admin and operational costs are funded separately. This protects intent and compliance.
Online payment makes the process simple. You calculate your total in minutes. You donate securely. You receive instant confirmation for your records. This is especially helpful during Ramadan when obligations can overlap and time is limited. Digital payments also support faster food distribution on the ground.
Fidyah is different from Kaffarah. Kaffarah applies when a fast is deliberately broken without a valid reason and carries a heavier requirement. Fidyah applies when fasting is not possible and no make-up fasts are required. Understanding the difference ensures you fulfil the correct obligation.
Fidyah supports daily meals and staple food provision. Each £5 feeds one person for one day. Each payment restores dignity and meets a basic need during Ramadan.
If you or a dependant qualifies, do not delay. Count the days missed. Pay the correct amount. Ensure your obligation is fulfilled and your support reaches those who need it.
Pay your Fidyah for Ramadan 2026 today. £5 per day. Clear. Compliant. Impactful.
