The Shaykh:
Is it?
The questioner:
Is it permissible to give the fidyah for the number of days to one poor person, or is it given to poor people according to the number of days?
The Shaykh:
It is given to one person; there is no harm in that. You may gather the fidyah for the whole month and pay it to one poor person; there is no obstacle. It is permissible for one poor person and permissible for several poor people; there is no harm in that. Yes.

And upon those who are able [to fast, but with hardship] - a ransom [as substitute] of feeding a poor person
