Alhamdullilah we would like to thank our donors who have helped feed our local community by donating food and funds. Thus far we have been able to deliver food packages daily and coordinate delivering food for iftar meals in our lower income areas that really need support.
Three large pallets of food for suhoor and iftar donated by a generous brother
and more than 150 Ramadhan baskets packaged by loving sisters delivered in these first ten days.

Fidya is the act of feeding the indigent in lieu of missed fasts during the blessed Month of Ramadhan. A common misconceptions is that fidya payments for missed days is all one needs to do with no need for qadhaa (making up) of missed fasts after Ramadhan. Fasts may be missed for various reasons. This may be due either to common illnesses, long term illnesses or days missed by mothers who breastfeed their infants, and ladies during their monthly difficult days.
Days missed must be made up before the advent of the next Ramadhan. As a Fardh (obligatory) act of worship, fasting during Shahrul Ramadhan takes precedence over observing missed fasts from the previous year. One stops making Qadhaa during Ramadhan and fasts with intentions for the current year. The command to pay fiyda is for the Shaykh al Faani. The Shaykh al Faani is the individual who is unable to fast due to advanced old age. Fasting itself would cause such an individual to become ill and possibly lead to death. This also applies to the youth under similar circumstances.
