Fidyah

Those who are unable to fast due to illness, old age, or infirmity are required to pay the fee known as fidyah.

Fidya (also fidja) is a compensation and means substitution.

According to the majority of scholars, the fidya must be performed by those who cannot fast during Ramadan due to old age or chronic illness. In case of short-term illness, the respective day is simply post-fasted and it is not possible to perform the fidya instead. The fidya is used to feed one needy person for every day not fasted.

According to one of Prophet’s companions, the fidya also applies to the pregnant or nursing woman who has refrained from fasting out of concern for her baby. She performs the fidya for the missed days in the form of feeding a needy person instead of post-fasting.

It should be noted that the different schools of law sometimes have different views on the issues
