Fasting Due to Chronic Illness

Question
My daughter is 13 years old and suffers from excess brain activity. She takes daily medication and cannot fast. What should she do?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: In such a case, if the doctor tells you that fasting is harmful to you, then do not fast, and you must provide a compensation for each day by feeding a poor person, which is done by giving two dinars. And God knows best.
