A woman making up her missed days of Ramadan on separate days

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And he said, then I read to my mother for five consecutive years. And he said, if she comes for five months, if she comes for five more months, then she may come, perhaps preceding them.

The Shaykh:
Except that.

The questioner:
So let them avoid it, let them avoid it, for it is either its evil or its good, and this matter is incumbent upon him.

The Shaykh:
It is obligatory for her to make up the fast, even if on separate days. It is obligatory for her to make up the days she owes, even if they are scattered. As for leaving off the making up of the fast, this is not permissible. For Allah the Exalted says:
So whoever sights [the new moon of] the month, let him fast it; and whoever is ill or on a journey - then an equal number of other days.فَمَن شَهِدَ مِنكُمُ الشَّهْرَ فَلْيَصُمْهُ وَمَن كَانَ مَرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِّنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ
[Al-Baqarah 2:185]
This is a debt in her conscience that must be made up as long as she is able to make it up. So she makes it up. But if she is not able to make it up consecutively, she spreads it out according to her ability, even if it is delayed. Yes.
