Fidyah for qadha salaah
Question
My father has willed for us to pay fidyah for his qaza namaazes. We live in the US but also have a house and wheat fields in Pakistan.
1. Can we give his fida in Pakistan or do we have to give it in the US?
2. He has about 50 years of qaza namaazes and the rate per namaz is 1.6kg wheat?
3. Who should be given the fidyaa?
Answer
1. Both are permissible.
2. Yes.
3. All poor deserving people.
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.”
