If a sick person recovers or if their illness is expected to be cured, they must make up the days they missed. It is not permissible for them to feed the poor when they are able to make up the fast. However, if the illness is not expected to be cured and the patient is unable to make up the fast, then they must feed one poor person for each day they missed.
