Question:
Our master, the Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says: A patient was determined by the doctors that his illness is not expected to be cured, so he broke his fast. Then, after a period of time, Allah healed him. Is he required to make up the fast?
Answer:
If he fed people, then the feeding is sufficient, because on the day he fed them, when he was not certain that he would be cured, the feeding is sufficient for him. However, if he did not feed them and he is able to make up the fast, he must make it up. Yes.
