Cannot fast due to illness or old age? Pay Fidyah to compensate. £5 feeds one person for each day missed.
Fidyah UK 2026 – Pay Fidyah Online £5 Per Day
Fidyah applies when you cannot fast in Ramadan due to long-term illness or old age and you are unable to make up the missed fasts later. Paying Fidyah in the UK allows you to fulfil this obligation correctly while supporting people in need. The standard amount for 2026 is £5 per day, which feeds one person for each fast missed.
Fidyah is not optional when the conditions apply. If a doctor confirms that fasting would cause harm and recovery is not expected, Fidyah becomes due. You calculate Fidyah by counting the number of fasts missed and multiplying by the daily amount. Payment should be made as soon as possible, ideally during Ramadan, so support reaches people when need is highest.
Fidyah must be used to feed the poor and needy. It cannot be redirected to other causes. Correct allocation matters. The purpose is to provide food or its equivalent to someone who lacks it. Paying through a trusted charity helps ensure this requirement is met.
Global Helping Hands enables UK donors to pay Fidyah online with confidence. The charity applies a 100 percent donation policy. Public Fidyah funds go directly to feeding eligible recipients. Admin and operational costs are funded separately. This protects compliance and intent.
Online payment makes Fidyah simple. You can calculate your total in minutes and donate securely. Instant confirmation provides a clear record. This is especially helpful during Ramadan when obligations can overlap and timing matters. Digital payments also support faster distribution to those who rely on daily meals.
Fidyah differs 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 is required. Understanding the difference ensures you fulfil the correct obligation.
Fidyah given through a UK charity supports essential food provision. Hot meals. Food packs. Staple supplies. Distribution focuses on people with limited access to regular meals. Each payment helps restore dignity and meet basic needs.
If you or a dependant cannot fast and cannot make up the days later, do not delay. Calculate the number of missed fasts. Pay the correct amount. Ensure your obligation is fulfilled and your support reaches those who need it.
Pay your Fidyah for 2026 today. £5 per day. Simple. Compliant. Impactful.
