Is it permissible to delay making up the fasts of Ramadan until one is able to do so?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our Shaykh, one of them had an accident in Ramadan, and the doctor had forbidden him from fasting. He wants to make up the fasts, and after Allah healed him, but he works in construction and has no day off except Friday. Is it permissible for him to delay making up the fasts until he returns to his hometown, knowing that the work is hard and he cannot fast with it?

Answer:
Yes, there is no specific limit or time for making up the fasts, but whatever one hastens to do according to his ability is better for clearing his conscience. If he delays it until he is able to make it up, there is no harm in that. Yes.
