What is Fidyah?

Fidyah is paid for missed fasts when someone has not fasted in Ramadhan 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. Fidyah covers the feeding of 750g of food (wheat, bread or rice) to a poor person; currently this is set at around CA$2 per day of missed fast. The missed fasts will still need to be made up.
