KARACHI: Religious scholar Mufti Muneeb-ur-Rehman has announced the rates for Fitra, Fidya, and Kaffarah for the current year, ARY News reported.

Fitra and Fidya Rates

Based on the market price of various commodities, the rates are as follows:

Commodity	Weight	Fitra / Fidya (Per Person)
Wheat	2kg	Rs 300
Barley	4kg	Rs 1,160
Dates	4kg	Rs 2,800
Raisins	4kg	Rs 7,200

 

Kaffarah for Broken Fasts

For those who deliberately break a fast, the Kaffarah (compensation) involves feeding 60 deserving people two meals a day. The total costs for this are:

• Wheat: Rs 18,000
• Barley: Rs 69,600
• Dates: Rs 168,000
• Raisins: Rs 432,000

Rules for Fidya and Kaffarah

The cleric clarified that Fidya is specifically for the elderly and those suffering from chronic, incurable illnesses that prevent them from fasting.

Conversely, “temporary patients” (those with short-term illnesses) and travelers are not eligible to pay Fidya; instead, they are required to make up the missed fasts at a later date.

Mufti Muneeb-ur-Rehman further explained that anyone who breaks a fast without a valid Shariah-compliant reason must observe Kaffarah.

This involves fasting for 60 consecutive days without a single break. If the individual is physically unable to fast for 60 days, they must then fulfill the requirement through the financial payments listed above.
