When someone is unable to fast due to a legitimate reason, they should try and make up those missed days by fasting at another time. However, if one was unable to fast those days (due to chronic illness or old age etc.) then they must pay Fidya, to feed a poor person for each day a fast is missed. 

The Fidyah amount of $5 for Ramadan 2021 will provide an individual in need a iftar food pack in Ramadan. Sadaqa Welfare Fund has a 100% donation policy of your Fidyah donation which goes directly towards feeding the poor and needy families during Ramadan in regions in need of vital iftar food in Afghanistan, Albania, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Iraq, Kashmir, Lebanon, Nigeria, Pakistan, Palestine, Rohingya, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Syria, Turkey, the Uyghurs and Yemen.
