Question:
A woman undergoes kidney dialysis every three days and is unable to fast. What is required of her?
Answer:
Answer: She has to feed one poor person for every day, provided her excuse is continuous, meaning a chronic illness. In that case, she feeds one poor person for every day with a quantity of one and a half kilograms of food: (And upon those who are able to do it with difficulty is a ransom, the feeding of a poor person). So the one whose illness is chronic and who is unable to fast has to feed people, and praise be to Allah.
