Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I have children who are frequently ill throughout the year, especially during Ramadan, which makes them unable to fast on some days. What is the ruling? And if they break their fast, do they have to make up the fasts or feed the poor?

Answer:
If they are unable to fast, they break their fast due to illness, whether they are sick or traveling. They must make up the fasts for a number of other days. Once their illness is gone, they must make up the fasts after Ramadan.
