Rules of Fidyah
Fidyah is compensation for those who absolutely cannot fast, such as the elderly, chronically ill, or pregnant/breastfeeding women if fasting endangers their health. Allah says in the Quran (2:184): "And upon those who are able [to fast, but with hardship] - a ransom of feeding a poor person." The amount corresponds to the cost of an average meal in your area for each missed fasting day.
Rules of Kaffarah
Kaffarah is a more severe expiation required when a person deliberately breaks their Ramadan fast without a valid excuse. The expiation options are, in order: (1) freeing a slave (not applicable today), (2) fasting 60 consecutive days, or (3) feeding 60 poor people. You only move to the next option if the previous one is impossible. Consulting a scholar is recommended for any particular situation.
