Arranges feeding of poor and deserving people on behalf of those who cannot fast during the month of Ramadan
For those who are unable to fast (elderly, sick, handicapped, etc.) a compensation must be given by feeding a poor person for every day of fasting not observed. Young need to make up their missed fasts, should they be sick or traveling.
* The price of Fidya for each day of missed fasts is either to feed a poor person two meals in a day, or to give whole wheat, which is enough to feed a poor person twice in a day (1/2 Saa per Hanafi school of thought, or 1 Saa per Shaafi and other schools of thought). (1 Sa = 3 Kilograms approx.)
*
The Fidya price for one who has to pay it should be calculated based on the local prices of whole wheat in the place the person resides.
* The price for Fidya in the USA is $3.50 by the Hanafi school of thought, and $7.00 according to the Shaafi and other schools of thought.
* Hidaya distributes Fidya among the deserving in the form of dry ration to those are qualified to receive Zakat.
