Whoever neglected to make up for missed days of until the next Ramadan began, must feed the poor for each day. The sufficient amount is one mudd of food (approximately 750 grams of rice). Some scholars held the view that it is obligatory to give one mudd of wheat or half a sa' of other food (approximately 1.5 kilograms of rice). So, whoever gives 1.5 kilograms of rice, that will suffice.
