I did not fast for a certain number of days in past years during Ramadan. Do I have to qada? And how do I pay fidyah?

Question

Accepted Answer

Those who did not fast during Ramadan should try their best to expiate the missed days (qada) before the next Ramadan. If you are unable to do so, not only do you have to replace the missed fasting days, but you are required to pay fidyah for each day you did not fast.
