Donate and help us feed and reach more families this Ramadhan of 2025/1446AH.
"Whoever feeds a person breaking his fast will earn the same reward as him, without anything being lessened from the reward of the fasting person’ (as narrated, al-Tirmidhi)"
RAMADAN IFTAR DISTRIBUTION
Fidya is payable by those who are unable to fast during the month of Ramadan for valid reasons (due to poor health etc.) Such a person must pay to feed a poor person (2 meals a day) for every day of fasting he/she misses. This is called Fidya.
At MUK, we distribute Fidya to the poor, in the form of food. The standard cost of Fidya for a single missed fast is KES 500/=. KES 15,000/= is the total cost of Fidya for the whole month, and is paid forward as an MUK food parcel containing a month’s supply of food.
Kaffarah is payable by those who intentionally don’t fast during Ramadan, without a valid reason. It is compensation which requires feeding a person (2 meals a day) for 60 days, or feeding 60 people for a day. Alternatively, such a person must fast for 60 consecutive days.
Zakat ul Fitr or Fitrana, is compulsory charity paid by Muslims at the end of the fasting month. Every adult Muslim who possesses food in excess of his/her needs (approx. 2.5 kg) must pay Zakat ul Fitr for him/herself and on behalf of dependents.
The accepted amount for Zakat ul Fitr is KES 600/= per head. Though this is payable until the morning before Eid Prayer, we urge donors to give theirs in advance. By doing so, you’ll be allowing the families who rely on your Fitr to make their preparations for Eid.
