According to the preferred view of scholars, the fidya, in lieu of fasting of Ramadhan, should be given to the poor Muslims, for one of its purposes is to help them provide for themselves during the month of fasting. Therefore, you should give it to the poor Muslims who are fasting. If, however, you are unable to find any Muslims in your area, then you should channel the funds elsewhere to them.

Therefore, if you are unable to find any Muslims in your area, you should channel the funds elsewhere to the poor Muslims in order to help them provide for themselves and their families to observe this most important pillar of Islam.

I pray to Allah to bless us all to reap the maximum benefits of Ramadhan.
