The Ruling on Fasting for a Person with a Chronic Illness

Question:
What about one who cannot fast due to a long-standing illness, and how does he fast? Is he permitted to do otherwise?

Answer:
When the month of Ramadan enters, people fall into three categories. The first is the resident who is healthy; it is obligatory for him to fast as a performance. The second is the traveler; the second is the traveler. So, if he fasts, his fast is valid while traveling, and if he breaks his fast, he is permitted to do so, and breaking the fast is better, taking the dispensation from Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He.
The third category is the one who is unable to fast, neither to perform it nor to make it up, while still possessing his mind and intellect, such as an elderly person in decline, or a person with a chronic illness who is unable to fast, neither to perform it nor to make it up. He must feed one poor person for every day, for every day, and he will receive the reward of fasting, with the permission of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He); because Allah granted him a dispensation and issued a ruling that he should feed one poor person for every day in place of fasting, and that suffices him, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
