Summary
Those who need only pay fidyah without making up the fast are people permanently unable to fast, whether due to very old age or a critical illness with no hope of recovery. Fasting would cause them hardship and harm. According to the stronger view in the Shafi'i school, the fidyah is one mud for each day missed. If a person is able to fast at certain times, he must fast during those times.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Menurut pandangan yang kuat di sisi mazhab al-Syafie, golongan ini diwajibkan ke atas mereka untuk membayar fidyah sahaja satu mud bagi setiap hari yang ditinggalkannya tanpa perlu qada puasa tersebut.
