Feeding the poor in place of fasting three days

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, what is the ruling if a person is unable to fast three days, or if fasting is difficult for him? Does he have to feed three poor people for every month?

Answer:
This is a recommended practice (sunnah). If he is unable, then nothing is required of him. Yes.
