Summary
If a person dies with obligatory fasts still unfulfilled, fidyah must be paid for those fasts. It is paid in the staple food of the country, which in Malaysia is about one cupak of rice for each day of fasting missed. There is no textual evidence requiring fidyah to be paid for prayers left undone.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Jika seseorang meninggal dunia dalam keadaan masih mempunyai puasa fardhu yang belum ditunaikan, maka syarak menuntut fidyah perlu dikeluarkan bagi puasa tersebut.
