The questioner : He also says that this year she missed, or fasted, eighteen days of the month of Ramadan, and then broke the rest of the fast due to her severe illness, her weakness, and her inability to fast. What is required of her if she is unable to make up the remaining days of Ramadan that she broke involuntarily due to illness?
The Shaykh : May Allah the Exalted grant her healing and well-being, as we hope and seek from Allah. If winter comes, the days become shorter, and the weather becomes cold, she will be able to fast, if Allah grants her health. If the illness persists and hope for her recovery is lost, she transitions to feeding the poor. Yes.
The questioner : Yes, does she feed one poor person for each day?
The Shaykh : One poor person for each day.
The questioner : Yes.
