Question:
A woman was afflicted with a severe illness, so the doctor advised her not to fast in Ramadan, and she did so. When she recovered, she did not make up the fasting she owed, and many years have passed. What is required of her now?
Answer:
She is required to make up the fasts, and along with making them up, she is required to feed one poor person for each day as expiation for the delay in making up the fasts. This is because it was obligatory for her to hasten to make them up once her excuse was gone; it is obligatory for her to hasten to make up the fasts. If she delays them without an excuse, then she is sinful, and she owes an expiation along with making up the fasts: feeding one poor person for each day. Yes.
