1. What is Sadaqah in Islam

Sadaqah (Arabic: صدقة) means voluntary charity given for the sake of Allah. Unlike Zakat (which is obligatory and has a fixed rate), Sadaqah can be given at any time, in any amount, and to anyone in need. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: "Sadaqah extinguishes sin as water extinguishes fire."

Common forms of Sadaqah include: cash donations, feeding the poor, helping neighbors, building wells or schools, sharing knowledge, and even a smile (described as Sadaqah in Hadith). There is no minimum or maximum amount — even a small act of kindness counts.

For practical purposes, many Muslims give 2.5% of their monthly income as Sadaqah (the same rate as Zakat). Others set aside a daily or weekly amount. Use our Zakat Calculator to calculate your annual Zakat separately.

2. Fidya — When and How Much

Fidya is monetary compensation given for each Ramadan fast that a person permanently cannot observe. It is prescribed in the Quran (2:184).

Who pays Fidya?

Who does NOT pay Fidya?

Fidya amount 2026 (Pakistan): Approximately PKR 300-500 per missed fast. This equals feeding one poor person one full day's worth of food (2-3 meals).

3. Kaffarah — When It Applies

Kaffarah (كفارة) is an expiation required for deliberately breaking a Ramadan fast without a valid excuse. It is a more serious obligation than Fidya.

Order of expiation options:

  1. Free a slave — no longer applicable in modern times
  2. Fast 60 consecutive days — the preferred alternative
  3. Feed 60 poor people — permissible if fasting 60 days is not possible

Kaffarah amount 2026: Feeding 60 people × PKR 400/person = PKR 24,000 per deliberately broken fast. This is separate from making up (Qada) the fast.

Note: Accidentally eating or drinking while forgetting one is fasting does NOT require Kaffarah — only deliberate breaking does.

4. Fitrana / Zakat al-Fitr — Eid Obligation

Zakat al-Fitr (Fitrana) is obligatory charity given before Eid al-Fitr prayer. It was prescribed by the Prophet (PBUH) to purify the fasting person from indecent acts and speech, and to provide food for the poor on Eid.

What is Sadaqah Jariyah?

Do I pay Fidya or Qada for missed fasts due to illness?

For temporary illness where you expect to recover: Qada (make up the fasts later). For permanent illness where you will never be able to fast: Fidya. A doctor's assessment should guide this decision.
