The Ill not Being Able to Fast for a Number of Years

Q: What is the duty of one who was ill for a number of years thus neither being capable of observing one’s fasts, during the month of Ramadan, nor one’s compensatory fasts?
A: On recovery, assuming there remains sufficient time until the start of the following month of Ramadan, one must observe the compensatory fasts related to the last Ramadan month. Concerning all the years previous to that, one is not obligated to observe the compensatory fasts but rather pay ¾ kg of food for each missed fast.
