What is Qada fasting?

Qada fasting means making up Ramadan fasts that were missed due to valid reasons such as illness, travel, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or menstruation. These missed days must be made up after Ramadan.

What reasons require only Qada (no Kaffara)?

Missing a fast due to illness, travel, pregnancy, breastfeeding, menstruation (Hayd), or postpartum bleeding (Nifas) requires only Qada — making up the missed day. No additional expiation is required.

What if a fast is broken intentionally?

If a Ramadan fast is intentionally broken by eating, drinking, or sexual intercourse, it requires both Qada (making up the day) and Kaffara (expiation: fasting 60 consecutive days or feeding 60 poor people). This app tracks only the Qada portion.

Fidya is monetary expiation paid by elderly or chronically ill persons who have no hope of recovery and cannot make up missed fasts. This app is not designed for fidya tracking.

About Missed Fasting (Qada)

In Islam, fasting during Ramadan is obligatory for all adult Muslims. If a fast is missed due to illness, travel, pregnancy, breastfeeding, menstruation (Hayd), or postpartum bleeding (Nifas), the missed day must be made up (Qada). This app helps you track those make-up fasts.

Categories of Missed Fasts

Illness: Missing a fast due to sickness — requires Qada only
Travel: Permitted to break fast while travelling — requires Qada only
Pregnancy / Breastfeeding: If there is concern for mother or child — requires Qada only
Menstruation / Postpartum (Hayd/Nifas): Fasting is not permitted — requires Qada only
Intentional breaking: Eating, drinking, or sexual intercourse → 1 day Qada + 60 days Kaffara (expiation). This app tracks only the Qada portion.

Important Note on Fidya

Elderly or chronically ill persons who have no hope of recovery are not required to make up fasts. Instead, they must pay fidya (monetary expiation) for each day. This app is not designed for fidya tracking.
