Summary
The fidyah rate is based on the price of one cupak of the staple food of the local population, and it changes with the zakat fitrah rate set yearly by the Negeri Sembilan Fatwa Committee. In Negeri Sembilan, zakat fitrah is 1 gantang, equal to 2.751kg, so fidyah is ¼ gantang, which is 688 grams. The Negeri Sembilan Zakat Centre uses one quarter of the gazetted fitrah price, for example RM1.625 per day in 1439H when fitrah was RM6.50. The place and method of payment should be referred to the zakat centre.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
