Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee decided that the term takrar (repetition) according to the final position of the Shafi'i school means repeated, even though some say it means doubled. On this basis, fidyah is calculated from the number of years and the number of missed fasting days, multiplied by one quarter of the current fitrah rate. The appended example uses RM2.00 per day, and the fidyah may be handed to the Johor Islamic Religious Council through district kadi offices for distribution to eligible recipients.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
