Subject : Islamic Ruling on Delaying the Payment of Fidyah beyond the First Year

Question :

Is an elderly or chronically ill person required to pay additional fidyah if they delay it beyond the first year?



The Answer :

An elderly person or someone permanently unable to fast must pay fidyah by feeding one needy person for each missed day.

However, if they delay paying fidyah beyond the first year, no additional fidyah is required.

This differs from someone who delays making up missed Ramadan fasts (qada) without a valid excuse until the next Ramadan begins—such a person is required to pay an additional fidyah for the delay.
