Fidyah for missed salaah and fasts

· 26 Rajab 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

My mother was ill for the last 5 years and on 15th march 2018 she left us. Please tell us about the fidya for namaz and roza.

Answer

If she made a bequest for fidyah to be discharged for her missed namaaz and missed roza then it will be compulsory to discharge from one third of her estate. If she did not make such a bequest then it is optional which a person has to do from his own wealth. The fidyah for each namaaz and each roza is the equivalent of sadaqatul fitr.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

How do I make up missed salaah (qadha)?

“Performing Qadha salaah in one's home or in the musjid is permissible. However, after the time of fajr enters and after performing your asr salaah, if you wish to perform Qadha salaah, then perform it in your home.”
