Fidya is paid for missed fasts when someone has not fasted in Ramadan for a valid reason (for example ill health or pregnancy) and they have not been able to make up the missed days by the next Ramadhan. Fidya covers the feeding of 750g of food (wheat, bread or rice) to a poor person; currently this is set at $1.50 per day of missed fast. The missed fasts will still need to be made up.
Kaffarah is the compensation payable if one deliberately misses or breaks a fast in the month of Ramadan without a valid reason. The compensation to be given is the feeding of 60 poor people which currently equates to £60 for each day of fast which is intentionally missed or broken. The missed fasts will still need to be made up.
