How can one make up for 8 months of fasting from 1994 to 2002, and what is the required amount of fidyah, taking into account the patient's weak health and her constant need for water and food?

If a Muslim falls ill with a sickness that prevents him from fasting, and a trustworthy doctor informs him of this, then he is permitted to break his fast. He must make up for the missed fasts after recovery, without expiation. If the doctor determines that there is no hope of recovery, then expiation suffices, which is feeding a poor person for each day (approximately 750 grams of food).
