Question
My father lost his ability to fast due to old age. I want to know, whether he has to pay the ransom? Zakat is not obligatory on my father. He is not very well off. In this case, he has to pay the ransom? Is it permissible to pay the ransom of one fast to more than one person? 8962768335

Yes, he has to pay fidyah instead of every fast of Ramadan. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “And those who cannot afford to fast, they shall pay a ransom equal to the food of the poor.” (Surat al-Baqara: 184) Even if zakat is not obligatory on such a person, fidyah must be paid. Because it is not necessary to have enough wealth to pay the ransom. And the ransom of one fast can be given to more than one person. But it is better to give one. 6261132798
