Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If an elderly person is unable to fast the month of Ramadan, he owes a kaffarah (expiation). Does he have to pay it at the beginning of the month?
The Shaykh:
It is the fidyah of feeding a poor person, the fidyah for fasting.
The questioner:
And this fidyah, may Allah preserve you, he asks: Does he pay it at the beginning of the month or at the end?
The Shaykh:
There is no harm in paying it each day for that day, or paying it all at the beginning of the month, or at the end. There is no harm. Yes.
