This fidyah is either fasting for three days, or feeding six poor people (half a sa' for each poor person), or sacrificing a sheep. It is permissible for a follower (muqallid) to adopt the of someone whose knowledge they trust, stating that no fidyah is required in this case if the clothing was worn to cover the 'awrah or to avoid impurity.
