As for the prayers, she was wrong for not praying them if she was able to pray but didn’t! She can’t make up for what was abandoned intentionally. As for fasting, she must make them up.

I am a women who have some missed fasting of about 130. I am compensating all the fasting alhamdulillaah.For the fidyah is it allowed to give in bulk( 130 multiplied by 1.5 kgs of rice( which is the staple food of india )) , to a single poor family. Or should i give 1.5 kgs of rice to 130 poor people.

No, you have to fast even if you didn’t wake up for suhur. But if you gotten too weak during the day and feared for your life, you may break that fast, only then and make it up later.

If someone is making up years of missed obligatory fasting does he or she also need to pay the compensation for each fast missed? Also if they have not made up fasts that have gone for years does the compensation be accumulative? Because the compensation may be very big and unaffordable for some people.
