Fidyah

Fidyah
If a person is unable to fast during Ramadan because he is either elderly or sick with no hope of recovery, then it is obligatory upon him or the head of the house to feed one poor person for each missed fast. This is called Fidyah.
Fasting is for a fixed number of days, and if one of you be sick, or if one of you be on a journey, you will fast the same number of other days later on. For those who are capable of fasting (but still do not fast) there is a redemption: feeding a needy man for each day missed. Whoever voluntarily does more good than is required, will find it better for him; and that you should fast is better for you, if you only know.
Qur’an | 2:184
