Fidya Donation
Fidya is a meaningful way to fulfill a religious obligation while bringing comfort to those in need. If you are unable to fast due to health reasons or other valid circumstances, your Fidya donation ensures that someone in need receives essential support, especially during the sacred month of Ramadan.
Your Fidya contributions to the Turkish Red Crescent (Türk Kızılay) provide vital aid to vulnerable families, including those in earthquake-affected areas and other communities in need across Turkey and the world.
The Directorate of Religious Affairs has set the Fidya amount for 2025 at 180₺ per day. You are welcome to give as much as you wish, as long as it meets or exceeds this amount.
