up the loss, a day for a day, when they recover after Ramadan.
2.
A Musaafir, (one who is undertaking a journey of more than 77 knits and does NOT intend
staying more than 14 day at his destination). However. it is better for him to fast in
Ramadan than keep Qazaa later, provided the journey is NOT a tiresome one.

FIDYA FOR FAST
FIDYA (COMPENSATION).
1. A very old person who does NOT have the strength to fast or a very sick or diseased
person, who has NO hope of recovering after Ramadan, should give FIDYA for each fast
missed in Ramadan.
2. The Fidys for a fast is similar to that of a missed Farz or Wajib Salaat, i.e.:
1.
To give 3
1/2
Lbs = approx. 1, 6kg. of wheat
OR 7 lbs = approx. 3,2 kg of barley
2.
OR....the equivalent of the above in cash or kind.
If, however, old or sick person gains strength or recovers after Ramadan, he must keep
the missed number of fasts and whatever was given as Fidya will be a reward for him
from Allah Ta’aala.
No one is allowed to fast for another (sick or fit) person.
N.B. Children should be encouraged to fast, but should not be forced to complete the
fast up to sunset if they are unable to bear the hunger or thirst.
