When we’re unable to fast in Ramadan, Islam gives us compassionate alternatives — Fidyah and Kaffarah — so that no one is excluded from reward, and no obligation is left unmet.
By giving your Fidyah or Kaffarah through Mission Relief, you help provide life-saving food to families facing extreme hardship in Kenya, ensuring your duty becomes someone else’s relief.
Fidyah is a charitable compensation paid by those who are permanently unable to fast during Ramadan.
This includes:
For each fast missed, Fidyah provides one person with a day’s food.
The recommended Fidyah amount is the cost of feeding one poor person two meals for one day, per missed fast.
If you miss 30 fasts, Fidyah should be paid for 30 people.
Mission Relief uses your Fidyah to deliver nutritious food meals to vulnerable families in Kenya who may otherwise go days without eating.
Kaffarah is a penalty required when someone deliberately breaks a fast in Ramadan without a valid reason.
It is more severe than Fidyah, reflecting the seriousness of intentionally breaking a fast.
Kaffarah can be fulfilled in one of two ways:

Mission Relief distributes Kaffarah by feeding 60 people per broken fast, providing dignity, nourishment, and hope to those living in food insecurity.
Kaffarah is required if:
If you are unsure whether Fidyah or Kaffarah applies to your situation, we recommend seeking advice from a qualified scholar.
