Is it necessary, when making up for days missed in Ramadan from three years ago, to feed poor people based on the number of days of fasting that were missed, or based on the number of years that have passed since those days were missed, especially since she does not remember the exact number of days and wishes to know both the number of days she needs to fast and the number of poor people she needs to feed?

The expiation (fidya) required for delaying the make-up of fasting is one mudd of food for each day the make-up was delayed. The expiation is not repeated with the repetition of years, according to the preponderant opinion. Whoever was ignorant of the impermissibility of delaying the make-up is not obligated to pay the expiation.
