The ruling on making up the fasts of Ramadan for the sick person

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I did not fast for fifteen days of last Ramadan because of an illness that continues to this day, because I am taking medication every twelve hours. What is the remedy and the solution? May Allah reward you.

Answer:
If this illness is expected to be cured, then you delay making up the fasts if you are unable to do so, delaying them until you can make them up and the illness is gone, and you make them up even if it is after a long period. As for if this illness is not expected to be cured, which is what is called a chronic illness, then you feed one poor person for every day, and this suffices in place of the fast. Yes.
