What are the consequences for a woman who did not fast in Ramadan due to postpartum bleeding (nifas) and was unable to make up the missed days before the next Ramadan due to health reasons and work circumstances? Is fidyah (expiation) obligatory for her, and what is its value? Is it permissible to send it to relatives in Syria?

The missed days of Ramadan must be made up before the next Ramadan arrives, unless there is a legitimate excuse, such as an illness that permits breaking the fast. If the making up of missed days is delayed without an excuse until the next Ramadan begins, then an expiation for the delay is obligatory along with making up the days. This expiation is feeding one poor person for each day, and it is given as food, not as money, according to the majority of scholars. If the delay is due to a continuous illness, then neither making up the days nor expiation is required until the excuse is removed. However, work that does not cause unusual hardship does not permit breaking the fast.
