Fidyah refers to a compensation or expiation that is given in place of performing an obligatory act of worship that cannot be fulfilled due to a valid excuse or inability.

If a person is unable to fast due to a long-term illness, chronic health condition, or old age, and there is no hope of recovery or making up the missed fasts, they are required to offer Fidyah.

It’s worth noting that the details of Fidyah can vary among different schools, and the guidance of a qualified scholar should be sought for specific situations or questions related to Fidyah.
