Give Fidyah and Kaffarah

Fidyah and Kaffarah provide vital support, especially for Rohingya Muslims. Kaffarah helps when fasts can’t be made up, while Fidyah is for missed fasts due to health reasons. Embracing these practices not only fulfills religious duties but also aids in providing nutritious meals to those in need.
