What is the term for feeding a poor person as compensation for a fast that cannot be made up due to permanent illness or old age?

Explanation

– Fidyah refers to feeding a poor person as compensation for a fast that cannot be made up due to permanent illness or advanced old age, providing a practical alternative when fasting itself remains genuinely impossible.
– This concession reflects the broader Islamic principle that Allah does not burden a soul beyond what it can reasonably bear, providing practical alternatives in genuinely difficult circumstances.
– For exams, note that this differs from temporary illness or travel, where making up the missed fast at a later time remains the required approach rather than Fidyah.
