Making up Ramadan for one who broke the fast due to a chronic illness

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The presenter:
We also have with us from Ta'if, Naif. Please, go ahead.

The questioner:
Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings. Peace. I greet you, Professor Muhammad al-Sadr, and I also greet Your Excellency, the Shaykh, our father Salih al-Fawzan. Let me summarize my questions, and my important questions are as follows. The first question, Your Excellency the Shaykh, in fact, in last Ramadan, one thousand four hundred and thirty-six, I broke my fast.
And that was, of course, because in the last days of Sha'ban, in the end of Sha'ban, I actually have a chronic illness, but it intensified for me in the last month of Sha'ban. So I discussed it with the doctor, and he said to me, "Fast." But I was unable to fast. So Ramadan entered, meaning I was unable to fast, so I broke my fast. Ah, then a comment, ah, Your Eminence, on the first question. Ah, the second question, Your Eminence the Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The presenter:
Naif, listen, Your Excellency the Shaykh, you hear the answer better. Okay.

The Shaykh:
With the answer to the first question. Okay. If you have days to make up from Ramadan, and there is only as much time left until the new Ramadan as the number of days you owe, then it is obligatory for you to fast until Ramadan enters and you have completed the fasting that came before it. But if you have an excuse, as you mentioned, and you were unable to fast before Ramadan, then you postpone it to after Ramadan and fast it, and you owe nothing other than making up the fasts in this case. Yes.
