Making up fasts for one who broke his fast in Ramadan for kidney dialysis

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A man has kidney dialysis twice a week, and the dialysis requires breaking the fast. If Ramadan comes and he breaks his fast on the day he has dialysis, does he have to make up that day, or does he have to pay a fidyah (ransom payment) for it?
He has to make it up. This man has kidney dialysis twice a week, and he is unable to have the dialysis done at night?We say: Break your fast on the day you have the dialysis and make it up afterwards; because feeding the poor is only for the one who is unable to make up the fast, and this man is able to fast five days of the week.
