IRSYAD HUKUM SIRI KE-680 : PEMBAYARAN FIDYAH DARI HARTA SIAPA? SUAMI ATAU ISTERI?
Who must pay the fidyah for a pregnant or breastfeeding woman who skipped fasting, the wife herself or her husband?
Short answer
The fidyah is paid from the property of the woman who broke her fast, not from her husband's property or that of someone paid to nurse the child.

Summary
The fidyah is paid from the property of the woman who broke her fast, not from her husband's property or that of someone paid to nurse the child. A woman who breaks her fast out of concern for her own health, or for herself and her child, owes only make-up fasts. If she fears only for her child, she owes both make-up fasts and fidyah. If the wife has no property because she has no work or the like, the obligation shifts to the husband.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, pembayaran fidyah wajib diambil dari harta isteri atau wanita yang menyusukan anak tersebut.
