Fidyah is applicable for individuals who are unable to fast during Ramadan due to valid reasons, such as chronic illness or advanced age, and cannot make up the missed fasts later. In Singapore, the current fidyah amount is approximately SGD 5 per missed day of fasting, calculated based on the cost of feeding one person two meals for a day.
For example:
- If you missed 5 days of fasting, the total fidyah would be SGD 25 (5 days x SGD 5).
Your fidyah supports providing meals and sustenance to vulnerable individuals and families, reflecting the spirit of compassion and care during Ramadan.
