Fidyah Amount UK 2026 – How Much Is Fidyah?
The Fidyah amount in the UK for 2026 is £5 per missed fast. This amount feeds one poor person for one day. Fidyah applies when you cannot fast in Ramadan due to long-term illness or old age and you cannot make up the fasts later. When these conditions apply, Fidyah becomes due.
You calculate Fidyah by counting the number of fasts you missed and multiplying by £5. If you missed the entire month, multiply £5 by the total 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 support reaches people when need is highest.
Fidyah has a clear purpose. It must be used to feed the poor and needy. It cannot be used for other causes. Correct use matters for validity. Paying through a trusted charity helps ensure the food reaches eligible recipients in the right way.
Global Helping Hands enables UK donors to pay Fidyah 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 Fidyah simple. You calculate the amount in minutes. You donate securely. You receive instant confirmation for your records. This is helpful during Ramadan when obligations can overlap and timing matters. 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 duty.
Fidyah payments support daily meals and staple food provision. Each £5 feeds one person for one day. Each payment restores dignity and meets a basic need.
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.
