The ruling on one who broke her fast due to illness and did not make it up, and now finds it difficult to make it up?

Question:
She says: I did not fast another month, but this was after I grew old, and the cause was a severe illness that confined me to my bed. Is it obligatory for me to make up the fasts, knowing that fasting is now very difficult for me, a difficulty that only Allah knows the extent of? This is in addition to my suffering from many illnesses now, such as low blood pressure and conditions like what is called angina, and others. Please clarify this for me. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
In every case, the days she missed from Ramadan remain a debt in her conscience, owed to Allah the Exalted. She must make them up. However, if she is currently unable to make them up due to a chronic illness that persists with her, and she cannot make them up continuously because of it, then she must feed one poor person for each day. As Allah the Exalted said: . This refers to those who cannot fast due to a chronic, continuous illness, or due to old age and advanced age. They must pay the fidyah (ransom payment) by feeding one poor person for each day, the amount being half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) for each day for the poor. She also has another fidyah, which is feeding one poor person for each day for the delay. So she pays two fidyahs for each day: one fidyah for the missed fast, and one fidyah for the delay. The amount is half a sa' for the missed fast, and half a sa' for the delay. The total is one sa' for each day, which she gives to the poor.
As for if the illness she mentions is a temporary illness that is expected to end, then she waits. When it ends, she makes up the fasts along with feeding, as we mentioned.
