يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ ١٨٣
O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous.
Qur’an 2 vs 184
Fidyah is to be paid in circumstance for those who are unable to fast in Ramadan due to old age, terminal ailment, pregnancy or breast feeding.
