Breaking the fast in Ramadan: What is required of him and how does he make it up?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. The listener is Malfi, my fourth file, or al-'Umrani, or al-'Umrani. He sent a message asking and saying: I am a young man living in the desert, twenty-two years old. I ask you these questions, may Allah reward you with good. If someone wants to make up the month of Ramadan, is it obligatory for him to fast the month and feed sixty poor people, or feed sixty poor people without fasting the month, or fast the month without any feeding? May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh:
If he has days of Ramadan that he broke, then it is obligatory for him to make them up, and his obligation is not lifted except by making them up. If he makes them up before another Ramadan, then he owes no food. But if he delays them until after another Ramadan without an excuse, then it is obligatory for him, along with making them up, to feed one poor person for each day, half a sa' of food, one and a half kilograms for each day. Even if he gathers it all according to the number of days and gives it to one poor person, or to several poor people, or to a house in which there are poor people, that suffices him. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. Is the feeding for thirty poor people, not sixty poor people as Shaykh Salih said?

The Shaykh:
Yes, for thirty poor people, one and a half kilograms of food for each poor person, according to the number of days he broke?

The presenter:
According to the number of days he broke? May Allah reward you with good and do you good.
