Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee ruled that it is permissible not to double the fidyah for fasts delayed beyond a year. This view is the Qaul Muqabil al-Asoh in the Shafi'i school, preferred by Imam al-Mawardi, and also the Qaul Muktamad in the Hanafi school. However, holding to the Shafi'i school's Qaul Muktamad, which obliges doubling the fidyah, is preferred.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Tidak menggandakan fidyah puasa bagi yang melangkaui tahun adalah harus.
