Description

Both Fidya and Kaffara donations are calculated as being equal to the cost of one meal for two people, or two meals for one person, and are intended to provide food for a person in need for each of the fasting days missed. This amounts to $10 every day.

This sum is based on the typical price of a supper for one in Canada. It is acceptable to raise the price if you believe you spend more money per meal.

Kaffara is computed at the same amount per day, but the penalty for willfully breaking the fast during Ramadan is to either fast for 60 days straight after Ramadan, or if that is not possible, to feed 60 people, which is equivalent to 30 days of almsgiving, or $300.
