Fitrana and Fidya Calculator
Work out fitrana (sadaqat al-fitr) for your family, fidya for fasts you can't make up, and kaffarah, using today's price of wheat, dates or your mosque's announced rate.
Fitrana: people you pay for, including yourself. Fidya: missed fasts.
Scholars give about 1.57 kg (Darul Uloom Deoband) to 2.32 kg (Mufti Rashid Ludhianvi). In Pakistan, half a sa' is taken as 1.75 kg, and 2 kg is given as a precaution (Jamia Binoria, CII). Use the figure your mufti or mosque gives.
Today's local price. Dates and raisins cost more, so some people choose them to give more.
Fitrana to pay
Rs 1,500
- Per person
- Rs 300
- Food value
- 10 kg of wheat
Fitrana for 5 people is Rs 1,500, at Rs 300 each.
How it's worked out
- Half a sa' of wheat
2 kg × Rs 150Rs 300 - Total
Rs 300 × 5 peopleRs 1,500
- Fitrana is due from every Muslim who has the nisab, for themselves and their minor children (Hanafi). A father doesn't have to pay for his wife or adult children, though many families pay for them with their permission. It should be paid before the Eid prayer.
- Scholars differ on the weight of a sa' and on details of these rulings. Follow your own scholar or mosque.
How it's worked out
Fitrana = people × amount per person · Fidya = missed fasts × amount · Kaffarah (by feeding) = 60 × amount for each kaffarah due
In the Hanafi school, all the fasts broken in one Ramadan need a single kaffarah.
Worked example
A family of 5, paying on 2 kg of wheat at Rs 150 a kg, pays 5 × Rs 300 = Rs 1,500 in fitrana. Paying on dates or raisins gives more, because they cost more per kg.
A note on differences of opinion
Scholars differ on the weight of a sa' and on some details of these rulings, and many mosques announce a rate each Ramadan. This calculator follows the common Hanafi practice; where your scholar or mosque says otherwise, follow them.
In the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali schools, each broken fast needs its own kaffarah, and the Shafi'i and Hanbali schools require it only for intercourse; their feeding is one mudd (about 0.6 kg) per person. To use that, set Kaffarahs due to the number of broken fasts. The Shafi'i and Maliki schools also give one mudd of food as the fidya for each fast.
Questions people ask
How much is fitrana per person?
The value of half a sa' of wheat or flour, or one sa' of barley, dates or raisins. With half a sa' taken as 2 kg of wheat at Rs 150 a kg, that's Rs 300 a person.
How many kilograms is half a sa'?
Scholars convert it differently, from about 1.57 kg (Darul Uloom Deoband) to 2.32 kg (Mufti Rashid Ludhianvi) of wheat. In Pakistan, half a sa' is taken as 1.75 kg, and 2 kg is given as a precaution (Jamia Binoria, CII). A full sa' of dates or barley is about 3.15 to 4 kg; Jamia Binoria uses 3.5 kg and the CII 4 kg. Use the figure your mufti or mosque gives.
Who has to pay fitrana and when?
Every Muslim who has the nisab pays for themselves and their minor children (Hanafi). A father doesn't have to pay for his wife or adult children, though many families pay for them with their permission. It becomes due at Fajr on Eid day and should be paid before the Eid prayer; paying earlier in Ramadan is allowed, so it reaches people in time.
What is fidya?
Fidya is paid for each Ramadan fast that can't be made up, for example because of lasting illness or old age. It's the same amount as fitrana, per fast. Fasts you're able to make up should be fasted instead.
How many kaffarahs do I owe for several broken fasts?
In the Hanafi school, all the fasts broken in one Ramadan need a single kaffarah, if you haven't already done a kaffarah in between. Fasts broken by eating or drinking in several Ramadans also need just one (Jamia Binoria); fasts broken by intercourse need one per Ramadan. Each broken fast must still be made up separately.
