What Is Fidya and Fitrana?
Fidya and Fitrana are charitable contributions made during Ramadan by Muslims who are unable to fast due to illness, pregnancy, or other reasons. Fidya is a form of compensation for missed fasts, while Fitrana is a donation given before Eid al-Fitr to help the less fortunate celebrate the festival. These contributions aim to fulfill religious obligations and support those in need during the holy month.
Fidya is paid for each missed fast and typically involves providing food for those in need, while Fitrana is a donation given before Eid al-Fitr.
Both Fidya and Fitrana serve as acts of charity and gratitude, ensuring that everyone can participate in the blessings of Ramadan.
