How and when should the fidya for breaking fast days in Ramadan be paid by a chronically ill person? Should it be given as money or food? What is the daily monetary value, and can the amount for the entire month be paid at once?

For the one unable to fast an obligatory fast due to an illness from which recovery is not hoped for, there is a ransom (fidyah) for each day. Its measure is one mudd of food (750 grams), to be given to one needy person. It can be given collectively or separately.
