Fitrana and Kaffarah

Omid Charity’s online Fitrana and Kaffarah forms allow you to contribute towards medicines, treatment and support for people with cancer, in accordance with the religious conditions that apply to your payment.

This page provides options for general Fitrana, Fitrana for Sayyids, and Kaffarah for intentional or unintentional missed fasts. Choose the payment type, staple food, household size or number of days as appropriate, and check the final amount before using the bank gateway.

Pay Fitrana online

Fitrana, also called Zakat al-Fitr, is paid at the end of Ramadan around Eid al-Fitr. Its amount depends on the guidance of your religious authority, the relevant staple food and the applicable price.

Omid Charity’s payment form lets you select the type of Fitrana:

• General Fitrana
• Fitrana for Sayyids
• Fitrana based on wheat
• Fitrana based on rice
• Fitrana for several family members

Amounts can change each year. Select the amount according to your religious authority’s guidance and the official announcement for the relevant year.

Pay fasting Kaffarah online

Kaffarah may apply in certain situations involving missed or invalidated fasts. The form distinguishes two broad categories:

Unintentional Kaffarah or payment for an accepted excuse

This category concerns circumstances where fasting was not possible for a religiously accepted reason or a required make-up fast was not completed within the applicable time. The amount is calculated using the number of days and the relevant year’s announced amount.

Intentional Kaffarah

This category concerns fasts invalidated without an accepted excuse. Its conditions and amount differ from the unintentional category and should follow the payer’s religious authority.

In Omid Charity’s online form, select the Kaffarah type and number of days, and check the amount before payment.
