Rates & Sources

We issue no rulings of our own. Every amount in our calculators is copied from a published announcement by a recognised council or charity, and is reproduced here with its organisation, Ramadan year and a link — so you can check each figure yourself.

How we choose and update rates

Preference is given to (1) an official national body — a fatwa council or the Council of Islamic Ideology — then (2) a large, established charity whose figures are set with scholars, such as Islamic Relief. Figures are re-checked before every Ramadan, and the year stays printed beside every rate all year, so an older figure is never disguised as a current one.

Where credible announcements differ slightly — for example, one masjid announcing a fitrana a little above a charity's figure — there is no scandal in it: the obligation is a measure of food, and prices are local. Pay the figure your local mosque announces, or the higher figure if you wish to be careful and generous.

Please read before you pay

This website provides educational estimates only — it is not a fatwa and does not replace a qualified scholar. Fidya, Fitrana and Kaffarah amounts change every year and differ by locality, staple-food prices and scholarly opinion. Always confirm the current amount for your area with your local mosque or a scholar before you pay.
