What is the ruling on making up for the days of not fasting in Ramadan due to menstruation or a sudden drop in blood sugar for a sick person, and is expiation required of her?

Whoever breaks their fast in due to a valid excuse is not required to offer expiation (). Rather, they are only required to make up for the days they missed after their excuse is no longer present, as Allah Almighty says: "But whoever among you is ill or on a journey, then [he is to fast] a number of other days." Therefore, our sister must make up for the days she missed due to her menstruation or illness, and she should hasten to make them up before the next Ramadan arrives.
