Missing fast days due to chronic illness

Question

I am paralyzed chest down. I don't have bowel control but have trained my bowel to get empty alternatively at a fixed time at night. But other times things get messy and I lose control. If I broke my fast for taking medications, how can I make up the missed fast days?

Answer

You must only make up missed fast days. If you are physically unable to make up missed fast days, you must only expiate by paying fiddiya.
