The ruling on the fasting of a sick woman who made up her fasts after Ramadan

The questioner:
From the Arab Republic of Egypt, the Governorate of Kamil Sinai, a message was sent by the listener Nasyi 'Afu Salim. He asks and says: My mother has been ill for twenty years. Ramadan came and she was sick, so she did not fast. When the following Ramadan came, she was on the verge of recovery, so she fasted. She did not remember the Ramadan she had not fasted until about a year ago, so she fasted. Is her fasting valid? May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh:
Yes, her fasting is valid, praise be to Allah. It was obligatory for her to make up the fasts before the new Ramadan, but if she did not, there is no blame on her, even if it was after the other Ramadan, because Islam is a religion of ease.
