Re: Question on how much Fidya to pay?

heres a copy and paste as you have done:

Maliki scholars say that the feeding mother has to keep Qadha only, while the pregnant shall pay Fidya only and not keep Qadha fasts.

This is what the Islamic Relief charity website says about fidya:

Fidya and Kaffara

For those that miss any days of fasting during Ramadan, there are two types of missed fasts. For any days missed through necessity, Fidya is payable. For any days missed unnecessarily, Kaffara is payable.

What is Fidya?

When someone cannot fast in Ramadan and cannot make them up afterwards (due to ill health or pregnancy) they pay for someone else to be fed. How much is payable?

It is at a rate of £3.50 per each day that is missed. (This should provide one person with 2 meals or two persons with 1 meal.) If someone misses all the fasts of Ramadan, it would amount to £105.
