The ruling on a woman's vow to fast when she is unable to do so
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I move on to this question from one of the sisters. She says: A woman fell ill with a severe illness, so she vowed that if she were healed, she would fast three days every month. When Allah healed her, she fasted, but then she fell ill again after several years and was unable to fast. Does one of her sons fast on her behalf, or does she feed someone for each day?
Answer:
If she is unable to fast, it is not obligatory for her to do so,[Al-Baqarah 2:286], but she must expiate it with the expiation for an oath, as mentioned previously. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,

Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity
