What is Fidyah in the context of fasting?
Explanation
Fidyah is feeding one poor person (approximately 2 meals) for each missed fast day. It applies to those who cannot fast and have no hope of recovery — such as the very elderly or chronically ill.

Hint
Fidyah is for those who CANNOT make up fasts — unlike Qada (making up later).
