Understanding Fidya vs Kaffarah

🌙 Fidya (فدية)

Paid when a person cannot make up missed fasts due to chronic illness, old age, or has passed away. The amount equals the cost of feeding one poor person for one day (two meals or 1.6 kg of wheat/grain per the Hanafi school).

Reference: "And upon those who are able [to fast, but with hardship] — a ransom [as substitute] of feeding a poor person [each day]." — Quran 2:184

⚖️ Kaffarah (كفارة)

Required for intentionally breaking a Ramadan fast through eating, drinking, or marital relations. The expiation is to fast 60 consecutive days (missing one breaks the count). If medically impossible, feed 60 poor people.

Reference: Hadith of the man who broke his fast in Ramadan — Sahih al-Bukhari 1936.

⚠️ Important: Fidya is for fasts that cannot be made up. If you missed fasts due to travel, illness, pregnancy, or other temporary reasons, you must make them up (Qada) before the next Ramadan. Fidya does not replace Qada for those who are able.
