The answer

If an illness is feared to worsen, delay recovery, or cause harm by fasting, then breaking the fast is permissible. If the illness is expected to be cured, then it is obligatory to make up the missed days when able to do so, and expiation does not suffice for making up the fast. It is permissible to delay making up the fast until after the following if the excuse of illness persists, and in this case, no (ransom) is required.
