Question:
An elderly woman missed fasting Ramadan last year due to her illness and inability to fast. She is asking what she should do to make up that fast, knowing that she is currently unable to make it up due to her health condition.
Answer:
If she is unable to make up the fast due to her illness, she must make it up after she recovers and is given respite; for Allah the Exalted said: [Surat al-Baqarah:185]. But if she is unable due to her advanced age, the weakness of her body, and her inability to abstain from food and drink until night, then she must feed one poor person for every day, and she owes nothing, and praise be to Allah. Yes.

Answer:

and whoever is ill or on a journey - then an equal number of other days
وَمَنْ كَانَ مَرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَى سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَر
