Is my sister obligated to make up the Ramadan fasts she missed due to postpartum bleeding (nifas), or should she pay an expiatory feeding (fidyah), considering she is in a period of breastfeeding, and what is the ruling on this in the Maliki school of thought?

Your sister must make up the fasts she missed due to postpartum bleeding (nifas), and ransom (fidyah) is not sufficient for her. If making up the fasts would harm her child, she can delay them until she weans the child.
