Membayar Fidyah Puasa.

Another information that I recently found out about when I went to the Ministry of Religious Affairs is the Fidyah Calculation for Puasa. I got this calculation table for those who wants to pay their Fidyah.

Earlier this year a friend and I was discussing about Qadha Puasa and bayar fidyah in relation to orang sakit or women who are pregnant and didn't do puasa or just basically did not Qadha Puasa. I am probably under the catergory of 'Maybe Dulu ada inda teQadha Puasa AND I don't remember how many days'. Yikes big yikes!

So this year I wanna make things straight. i.e I try as much as I can to continue to Qadha my Puasa for the previous years and at the same time try to pay my fidyah - approximate saja. After all - we should all pay our Hutang to Allah. If hutang to ppl sudah barat rasanya apatah lagi Hutang to Allah so we should all try our best to pay or Qadha.

Anyways, so as I was sitting there trying to get some explaination - of which I got confused. Here's the jist of what I've got! For people who have similar cases like me. There 3 types of payment:

1. Denda Fidyah must be paid first for all the previous years until 2008 - calculation berganda. (Monetary)

2. Only then pay Qadha - Fidyah the year after i.e 2009 (Monetary) - calculation times by the number of years

3. To continue to Qadha Puasa as much as you can. (Action)

I could be wrong but this was what I understood. I end up not paying yet as I have to go back and recalculate. Calculation is a bit confusing so best to get the advice of the Amils at the Religious Affairs or someone there.

Anyways, just hope the calculation paper I got will come in useful to ya'll. Wallahuwaklam.

Selamat Berpuasa Everyone!
