Summary
A kidney patient who is advised by a specialist to break the fast may do so and does not need to make up the missed days. Instead, they feed one poor person for each day missed with a measure of about 650g. If the illness goes away or they recover, they must make up the fasts, following the fatwa of Ibn Jibrin.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Orang yang sakit buah pinggang, yang dinasihatkan berbuka oleh pakar boleh berbuka dan tidak perlu qadha', sebaliknya diberi makan kepada orang miskin setiap hari yang ditinggalkan dengan secupak (lebih kurang 650g)
