Fidyah is a compensatory donation for those who are unable to fast due to illness, pregnancy, old age, or other long-term conditions and cannot make up the missed fasts later. Instead, they must provide meals for a needy person for each missed day of fasting. 

The Fidyah amount is $8 per missed fast, which covers the cost of feeding one person. For those unable to fast for the entire month of Ramadan, the total Fidyah payment is $240. 

By giving Fidyah, you ensure that those facing hunger receive essential meals, allowing you to still participate in the spirit of Ramadan and the act of giving. 

Kaffarah is a penalty donation for those who intentionally break a fast without a valid reason and cannot fast for 60 consecutive days to make up for it. Instead, they must feed 60 needy people for each missed fast. 

The required Kaffarah donation is $480 per fast, covering meals for 60 individuals, ensuring that those struggling with food insecurity receive vital assistance during Ramadan. 

Zakat al Fitr is a significant form of charity given at the end of Ramadan to purify the fast and ensure that those less fortunate can join us in celebrating Eid.

It is an obligatory zakat donation for every eligible Muslim (regardless of wealth). Still, Zakat al Fitr goes beyond fulfilling your duty by directly providing food aid to struggling people and joy for the festivities.  

At Muslim Hands USA, we make it easy for you to give your Zakat al-Fitr and ensure that it reaches those in need just in time for Eid. Your contributions help nourish and bring hope to communities in need, ensuring this Eid is a celebration for all.

Your Ramadan donation provides life-saving support to some of the most vulnerable communities worldwide. Through Muslim Hands USA, your generosity reaches: 

• Families Facing Hunger – In Gaza, Yemen, Syria, and other crisis-affected regions, families struggle to find food. Your donation provides hot meals and food parcels, ensuring they have enough to eat throughout Ramadan. 
• Refugees & Displaced People – Conflict and disasters have forced millions from their homes. Your support delivers emergency food, water, and essential aid to those who have lost everything.

• Widows & Orphans – Many women and children are left without financial support. Your Zakat and Sadaqah help provide food, shelter, and stability for those in need.

Your Zakat, Sadaqah, and Ramadan donations ensure that no one is forgotten this Ramadan.
