If someone is unable to fast due to old age or a chronic illness, they are required to pay Fidyah—if they can afford it.

Fidyah provides two meals daily for a person in need throughout the fasting month.

We recommend a donation of R33 per missed fast, ensuring those in need are fed to the same standard as we feed ourselves. 

For further advice on Fidyah and Kaffarah please speak to a local scholar or imam or call our donor care team on 021 633 6413.
