Summary
After a death and before the estate is divided, the heirs must settle the rights attached to the deceased's property, including debts such as zakat, kaffarah, vows, obligatory hajj and fidyah. If the amount of fidyah exceeds the means of the deceased or the heirs, payment by instalments is permitted. However, the payment must be completed promptly before the next Ramadan arrives, because fidyah is an obligatory matter.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
sekiranya bayaran fidyah yang wajib dibayar oleh seseorang itu adalah melebihi tahap kemampuannya atau warisnya, maka dibenarkan untuk membayar fidyah secara ansuran.
