Summary
The villagers are not obliged to pay fidyah for the deceased. The duty to pay it rests on the deceased's guardian or relatives, and it is taken from the deceased's own estate. The fatwa advises the community to pray for Allah's mercy and forgiveness upon the deceased.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Tidak perlu kerana keahlian untuk membayar fidyah hanyalah ke atas wali atau kaum kerabatnya daripada harta peninggalan si mati sendiri.
