Question:
He says: What is required of the one who is ill or unable to fast and cannot manage it?
Answer:
If he is unable to fast due to a permanent inability, and it is not expected that he will be able to in the future, this is what is called a chronic illness. He is required to pay a fidyah for each day by feeding a poor person.[Al-Baqarah 2:184]. The poor person is to be given one and a half kilograms of food for each day, and he does not have to fast.

وَعَلَى الَّذِينَ يُطِيقُونَهُ فِدْيَةٌ طَعَامُ
