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.
Fidya is monetary compensation given for each Ramadan fast that a person permanently cannot observe. It is prescribed in the Quran (2:184).
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).
Kaffarah (كفارة) is an expiation required for deliberately breaking a Ramadan fast without a valid excuse. It is a more serious obligation than Fidya.
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.
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.

Yes, according to most scholars, you can give Sadaqah on behalf of a deceased Muslim. The reward reaches them, and the giver also receives reward. This is known as Sadaqah Jariyah (ongoing charity).
Sadaqah Jariyah is continuous charity that keeps benefiting others and earning rewards even after the giver passes away. Examples include building a well, planting a tree, building a mosque, or teaching knowledge.
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.
