A woman who is unable to fast: what is obligatory for her?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I have, O my mother, may Allah grant you a long life. 'Abd al-'Aziz, please turn the television down a little, because there is interference between us and you. Please, go ahead and ask the question. Yes, she fasts the whole year, meaning one day and then another, and the month of Shawwal, she fasts the whole month. Do you mean Sha'ban? Yes, he is young. Yes. And we always, I mean, your father's wife, we advise her and tell her, I mean, to make it easy on her health, I don't know if that is something or not? O Shaykh? Yes, may Allah preserve you. He says her mother fasted Sha'ban one day and then another, and her health conditions do not help her. When Ramadan came, they told her that it would harm her health and asked her not to fast. O Shaykh?

Answer:
If the specialized doctors request that fasting will harm her, then she breaks her fast. If she is able to make up the fasts, she makes them up later. If she is not able, she feeds one poor person for every day.
