Is feeding people sufficient in place of making up the fasts of Ramadan, or is making them up obligatory?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman asking, and she says that she has eight days of fasting from Ramadan that she owes. Is feeding people sufficient for her instead of fasting?

Answer:
It does not suffice for us unless she is unable to fast due to a permanent inability, and regarding those who are able to do it, meaning those who are unable to do it due to a permanent inability, she feeds on their behalf. However, if she is able to fast and make up the missed days, even if the making up is delayed, there is no harm. Yes.
