Fidyah refers to a compensation or expiation that is given in place of performing an obligatory act of worship that cannot be fulfilled due to a valid excuse or inability.
The Fidyah entails feeding one poor person (Miskeen) for each day of fasting missed. This can be done by providing two full meals to a needy person or giving the equivalent amount of food (Sadaqatul Fitr) or its value (Sadaqatul Fitr).

Given the varying positions on what one Sa’ constitutes, the charity has determined a weight of 3kg as sufficient to fulfil the criteria set by all the major schools of jurisprudence.
Fidyah are distributed to widows, orphans and the destitute.
Ummah Welfare Trust determines the prices of Fidyah according to the prevailing price of wheat.
