Question:
This is a question about a person who is unable to fast. He is old because of his age and cannot fast. Is it for him to feed someone on his behalf for each day, or can he combine them at one time?
Answer:
There is no harm; both options are permissible. It is permissible for him to feed someone for each day on that day, and it is permissible for him to combine the amount corresponding to all the days, gather it all together, and give it to the poor.
