Question
A patient who has undergone open-heart surgery cannot fast at all, should he pay the expiation for his fasting, and how should he do it?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: Anyone who is unable to fast and their inability is ongoing must pay the compensation, which is feeding a poor person for each day. This can be given at any time, whether at the beginning or end of the month of Ramadan, or after Ramadan, and it should be given to the poor. And God knows best.
