Paying Fidyah for Mother Who Is Not Fasting
Respected scholars, As-salamu `alaykum. My mother has contracted an illness recently and her doctors have asked her not to fast during Ramadan. She has no source of income and is dependant on myself and my brothers. I feel myself responsible to compensate for her missing fast. I would like to know if I can pay this debt in her name in terms of money to the poor and how would I calculate the exact amount. I would also like to know the du`aa's the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) used to ask for the sick people. Jazakum Allahu khayran.
