Allah Almighty has prescribed in the Holy Qur’an that the fidya for one fast is equivalent to providing two meals to a poor person. Every fasting person should pay the fidya according to their means and financial ability. Allah says:

"But whoever volunteers excess, it is better for him" (Surah Al-Baqarah: 184).

The amount of fidya is the same as Fitrana. Each person should pay, according to their financial capacity, the value of:

• 2 kg of wheat, or
• 4 kg of barley, or
• 4 kg of dates, or
• 4 kg of raisins, or
• the equivalent value in cheese.

In our region, the 2 kg of wheat or its equivalent value is considered the minimum amount for fidya and Fitrana.
