How to Give Fidyah

Question
The incapacitated Sheikh cannot fast and wants to provide food for the needy. Is it permissible to give it all at once for the entire month, or should he give it for each day?
Answer
Answer: I say, and with God's help: The elderly person who is unable to fast should break the fast and provide a ransom for each day. It is permissible to give it in separate portions or all at once, and God knows best.
