What Should The People Who Cannot Pay Fidyah Do?

What should the people who cannot pay fidyah do?

Those who are too old to fast in all seasons of a year must pay fidyah to a poor for each day of Ramadan if they can afford. The same rule applies to the sick without any possibility of recovery (Baqarah, 2/184).

Those who cannot afford to pay fidyah are not responsible for paying it (Ibn Qudamah, al-Mughni, IV, 396). But they carry the responsibility of intentionally unobserved fasts. In this situation, what they can do is to repent to Allah (swt) for being forgiven.
