I am diabetic and unable to fast. What is the compensation for my inability to fast?

Answer

If you are unable to fast during Ramadhaan due to ill-health, then after Ramadhaan when you regain your health, you must make qadha of the missed fasts. If there is no hope of recovering from the sickness and you are truly unable to fast, then Fidyah has to be paid. For each missed fast the amount is the same as the amount of Sadaqatul Fitr. This amount should be given to the Muslim poor. However, even after having paid the Fidyah, if your health recovers and you are able to fast, qadha of the missed fasts has to be made.
