For the entire duration of the Holy Month, the Fidya rates are set at Rs9,000 for wheat flour, Rs18,000 for oats, Rs72,000 for dates, and Rs132,000 for raisins. For those who are not familiar, Fidya is the amount to be donated to the poor by those who are sick or unable to fast with no chance of recovery.

It should be noted that travelers and those who are temporarily unable to fast are obligated to compensate for missed fasts, as Fidya cannot replace the act of fasting.
