“No fidyah upon him” addresses the particular case of delayed Ramadan make-up. Under the Hanafi ruling stated here, the delay by itself does not add a fidyah payment, while the missed fasting duty remains.
This does not abolish fidyah in all circumstances. Permanent inability and bequests regarding a deceased person have separate rules; other Sunni schools may differ on a penalty for certain delays.
