So you missed fasting a couple of days in Ramadhan because of some sickness, menstrual cycle, travelling, etc...

Do you have to refast the days you missed or can you give out money to the poor for each day you missed?

Looks like I won't be fasting most of the coming Ramadhan due to some personal reasons and I was wondering how would I be able to make up for them? I heard that it's okay to buy a meal for a family for each day you miss instead of fasting.

Keep in mind, that I would be able to fast after Ramadhan but I prefer to feed the poor. So it's not that I can't, but I don't want to.

Anyone can confirm that?

yeah, if you don't/can't fast, you have to give food to the poor.

i am not so sure but i think you have to feed 60 people for everyday you've not fasted?:os wallahi not sure.

we'll have to wait for the scholars.

You have to do qa'9a'a because you have the ability to fast.

The fidyah is feeding one maskeen per day.

AE, the 60 days is for the kafarah.

That is according to my knowledge.

And refer to this set of fatwas for more details:
