The sick person is not obligated to make up fasts until he recovers

Question: I fell ill in Sha'ban last year and was unable to fast in Ramadan. I am still suffering from the illness to this day. When I tried to make up that month, I fasted five days but could not continue due to my medical condition and my need for medication throughout the day. Since my treating doctor has advised me not to fast because of its impact on my health, I ask your eminence to issue a ruling on this matter? May Allah reward you with good, especially since the blessed second Ramadan will be upon us soon, if Allah wills.
Answer: As long as you are ill, you are not obligated to make up fasts until you recover, if Allah wills. Likewise, if the coming Ramadan catches you, if Allah wills, and fasting is difficult for you, the best for you is to break the fast. Then you make up the first fast, and then the second, after recovery, if Allah wills. This is based on the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Surat al-Baqarah: 185]. And success is from Allah.

The month of Ramadhan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. 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. Allah intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship and [wants] for you to complete the period and to glorify Allah for that [to] which He has guided you; and perhaps you will be grateful.
شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِيَ أُنزِلَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ هُدًى لِّلنَّاسِ وَبَيِّنَاتٍ مِّنَ الْهُدَى وَالْفُرْقَانِ فَمَن شَهِدَ مِنكُمُ الشَّهْرَ فَلْيَصُمْهُ وَمَن كَانَ مَرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَى سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِّنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ يُرِيدُ اللّهُ بِكُمُ الْيُسْرَ وَلاَ يُرِيدُ بِكُمُ الْعُسْرَ وَلِتُكْمِلُواْ الْعِدَّةَ وَلِتُكَبِّرُواْ اللّهَ عَلَى مَا هَدَاكُمْ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ
