Zakat al Fitr
Zakat al Fitr & Fidya
Both Zakat al-Fitr and Fidya offer an opportunity to cleanse our deeds and extend mercy to the less fortunate, ensuring that no one is left behind during this blessed time.
Fidya for the Elderly & The Sick
If a person is unable to fast because he/ she is elderly, or sick with no hope of recovery, then he/she is not obliged to fast. In this case, one should not fast and feed one poor person for each day he/she is unable to fast. The amount is $15 per day of fasts that are missed.
Basics of Zakat Al Fitr – For All
Zakat al-Fitr is a mandatory charity due on every Muslim—young or old, dependent or independent. It is typically paid by the head of the household on behalf of their dependents. Financially independent adults should pay it for themselves. The amount is $15 per person, and it must be given before the Eid prayer to fulfill its purpose.

Every year, Be a Mercy Foundation strives to distribute Zakat ul Fitr and Fidya payments in Gaza (as hot meals) among Rohingya families and Orphans, and needy Muslims across west Africa. BMF’s goal is to raise 50K as Zakat ul Fitr and Fidya to ensure needy Muslims also have a happy joyous Eid. We request all payments be made ASAP to arrange appropriate distribution.
