The ruling on delaying making up fasts from Ramadan for more than a year

Question:
Yusuf from Riyadh is with us. Please, go ahead. For Dammam, please. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace.

Answer:
Peace. Here, Shaykh. May Allah welcome you. Please, please, let us hear you. Shaykh, I have approximately ten days of fasting that I have not made up; some were from the year 1930, some from 1931, and some from 1932. That is, I did not fast them when the lunar year passed. Some of them, my wife gathered me in Ramadan, and some I was traveling, and some I was ill, so I did not fast them. What is the expiation, or... This is the money for the expiation. This is what is obligatory for you to fast, because it remains in your debt; it is still in your debt. So you fast for the first year, then you fast for the second year, then you fast for the third year, and so on. And for every day, you pay an expiation for the delay, which is the amount of feeding one poor person, half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) for every day of delay, unless your delay was due to an excuse, in which case making up the fasts is sufficient. Yes.
