All missed days from , whether few or many, must be made up, even if years have passed, based on the Almighty's saying: ﴿then a [corresponding] number of other days﴾. In addition to making up the fast, one must also give a mudd of food to a needy person for each day missed, if there was a delay in making up the fast until the next Ramadan began without a valid excuse. This is based on what has been reported from the Maliki, Shafi'i, and Hanbali schools of thought.
