What is required of one who delayed making up Ramadan due to ignorance

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. When I was young, that is, forty years ago, when my monthly excuse came during Ramadan, I did not make up the days I had broken my fast after Ramadan ended, due to my ignorance of the ruling, and this continued for approximately eight years. When I learned the ruling, I calculated the days I had broken my fast and made them up intermittently. The question is: Do I have to feed people for these days, or is the fasting sufficient? And what is the amount of feeding if it is required of me? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Praise be to Allah. Since you have made up the days you broke your fast, that is the obligatory part. However, you still owe feeding for the delay, which is feeding one poor person for each day with a quantity of one and a half kilograms of food for each of the days you broke your fast during that period. Yes.
