A woman was afflicted with kidney failure, and making up the fasting she owes became difficult for her. What is the ruling?

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A woman was afflicted with kidney failure, and after a year had passed, the doctors permitted her to fast. However, fasting became very difficult for her due to the varying times of her medication and because of her high blood pressure, so she was unable to fast for more than fourteen days. What is the ruling for this woman?

The Shaykh:
If she is able to make up the fasts, she must make them up. If she is not able to make them up and it is not expected that she will be able to, then she must feed one poor person for every day. This is sufficient, if Allah wills. Yes.

The questioner:
And is she required to make up the fasts despite the hardship?

The Shaykh:
No, with hardship, no. If fasting does not become difficult for her, she makes them up. If it becomes difficult for her, she does not. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says: “And He has not placed upon you in the religion any difficulty.” Allah does not wish to place upon you in the religion any hardship. Yes. Yes. Yes.
