The ruling on feeding in place of fasting for a woman who was afflicted with blood cancer and whose condition improved

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: My mother was afflicted with blood cancer in the first days of the past Ramadan, so she was unable to fast the entire month. She fed people in place of every day of the month. His question is: Is feeding sufficient for her? Or is it obligatory for her to make up the fasts in addition to feeding? Given that her condition has improved at present?

Answer:
If the illness is expected to be cured, then it is obligatory for her to make up the fasts, and feeding is not sufficient for her. However, if the illness is not expected to be cured, meaning it is a chronic illness for which no cure is expected, then feeding is sufficient. Yes.
