Question:
One of them has kidney failure and is over seventy years old, and then they transplanted one kidney for him, and one is failing, and he... this year is ten days, and the doctors have forbidden him from fasting?
Answer:
He feeds a poor person for each day, he feeds a poor person half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) every day.
Q: And Ramadan?
A: It is the same; if he is unable, and they have determined that he will never fast, he feeds a poor person half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) for each day.
Q: How many?
A: One and a half kilograms, half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) of dates, rice, or wheat.
Q: Daily?
A: No, it is not obligatory to do it daily; he can collect it all and give it to some of the poor people for the whole month.
