Have you paid your Fidyah?
As the month of Ramadhan approaches, it is very important for us to make up any missed fasts and pay fidyah and kaffarah before the month begins. Fidyah is a compensation offered for not being able to fast and Kaffarah is an expiation for deliberately breaking one’s fast without a valid excuse/reason during the month of Ramadan. Visit this link to pay your Fidyah and or Kaffarah. Last Ramadhan we were able to aid over 5 million people and inshallah with your support this number can only grow in 2022.
