What is the ruling on one who breaks his fast in Ramadan because he suffers from a large number of stones coming out of him, and makes up the fasts after Ramadan?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I am a twenty-five-year-old young man. I have been suffering from a large number of stones for more than five years. Every year, five to six stones come out of me, especially during the blessed month of Ramadan. I suffer greatly and am in pain when a stone comes out of me. Because of the severe pain, I am sometimes forced to break my fast in the noble month of Ramadan. Immediately after the month, I fast the days I missed to make them up. Is this permissible or not? Please inform us. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
There is no blame on you for breaking your fast in this situation, if the stones affect you, and you have learned from that, and you are weak regarding fasting, then there is no harm in breaking your fast; because Allah has granted a dispensation for the sick person to break his fast. Allah the Exalted said:
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]
, and you have an excuse in this. So if you break your fast because of the illness, then you have entered into the dispensation and you make up the fasts until you reach the point where you mentioned that you made them up, and praise be to Allah. What you did is valid and there is no defect in it, and praise be to Allah.
