how is the calculation of hellah as fidyah for people who have died based on the study of Islamic law

Tutorific · Answer

basis in islamic sources quranic foundation: according to surah al-baqarah (2:184), people who are unable to fast for legitimate reasons (such as old age or chronic disease) should provide one meal (fidyah) to a needy person for each day they miss. if a deceased person missed a fast and was unable to make it up before passing away, this applies to them. hadith: according to the prophet muhammad (pbuh), heirs are in charge of paying off the debts of the deceased, including unmet religious duties like fasting (sahih bukhari).important key conditions relevance: fidyah is necessary in the following cases: had a long-term justification (such as old age or a chronic ailment) for not fasting. died before completing the fasts that were missed. there is disagreement among academics over whether repentance is necessary or if fidyah is sufficient if the deceased willfully skipped fasting without a good reason.calculation of fidyahrate per day: classic view: give one person in need 1.5–2 kg of staple foods (such as rice or wheat) every day that they are absent. current practice: frequently translated into monetary value that is equal to the price of providing one person with food (varies by location). multiplying the daily rate by the number of missing days yields the total amount. for instance, the cost of one meal is 30 times (30 missing days).differences among schools (madhhabs)

hanafi school:no increase for delayed payment; fixed per day.prefers monetary payment equivalent to the value of food (e.g., average meal cost in the local context).maliki school:similar to hanafis but emphasizes distributing actual food.shafi’i and hanbali schools: require feeding one poor person per day, either through food or its monetary value.heirs cannot fast on the deceased’s behalf; only fidyah is valid.procedure for heirs calculate missed days: if you are unsure, make a reasonable guess as to how many days the dead did not fast. determine fidyah by using the daily cost of feeding one person in the area (for exact figures, speak with local academics). distribution: provide all eligible receivers (poor muslims) with the entire quantity of food. direct dependents and non-muslims are not eligible to receive it.particular situations delayed payment: according to the majority of academics, there is no compounding, and the sum is fixed regardless of when it is paid. uncertainty in missed days: heirs should be cautious and cover the most days that are likely to be missed.in conclusion fidyah for the departed is a serious duty placed on heirs by justice and compassion. depending on scholarly interpretation, the computation is based on feeding one person in need every day that is missed, with flexibility in form (food or money). to handle certain situations and guarantee adherence to regional customs and school-specific regulations, speaking with an expert academic is advised.
