Question
My father had missed numerous Salaat. He has died without making wasiyyat to pay fidyah for his missed Salaat. May I pay the fidyah on his behalf?
Answer
Since he did not make a wasiyyat, paying fidyah is not obligatory on you. Nevertheless, you may pay the fidyah and make Dua of Maghfirah for him.
