Is it permissible to give money in place of food for the fidyah (the fidyah of feeding for breaking the fast due to permanent inability)?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : If we were to ask a questioner, "Is it permissible to give dirhams in place of food?" the answer is no, because Allah says, "And upon those who are able to do it with hardship is a fidyah of feeding a poor person," and dirhams do not feed. However, the dirhams are the value of things. So, what is the other category of inability that we have?
