Fidya serves as a compensation when individuals cannot fast during Ramadan due to unavoidable circumstances, such as persistent health conditions.
The amount required to be paid for one missed fast (which cannot be made up afterwards) is $6
You Fidya is distributed as hot meals to families in Syria and Gaza
Fidya is obligatory for those who deliberately miss a fast due to a valid reason, while Kaffarah is incurred only if one breaks a fast without a valid justification.
In the case of Fidya, the compensation for each missed fast is calculated as the equivalent of feeding one person. This acknowledges the circumstances where a fast is legitimately missed but cannot be made up at a later time.
On the other hand, Kaffarah is a more significant compensation, requiring to either fast 60 days but if unable then the equivalent of feeding 60 people for each fast deliberately broken without a valid reason. This serves as a means of atonement for the intentional violation of the sanctity of fasting.
