Question
A woman due to sickness missed 15 days fasting of Ramadhaan. How much should she pay to compensate for the missed fasts?
Answer
Paying Fidyah for missed fasts is valid only when one has lost all hope of recovering from the sickness. If a person recovers sufficient health to fast, then paying Fidyah is not permissible. Qadha must be made. However, if a person has lost all hope in being cured, then the Fidyah for one day is the same as the Sadqatul Fitr which is the price of 2 kilograms of flour.
