Fasting is NOT obligatory on the aged (elderly) who is not able to fast because of old age. But he will give as arms two measures of (mudd an-Nabiy or feed a poor man cooked food for each day he missed. 


The arms for the number of days missed or expected to be missed can be given out at the onset of fasting or divided over the days of Ramadan. They could also be given to a single person or divided among several people.


Note: A mudd is a grain measure equivalent to what an average size man can hold on to, using both hands brought together, palms cupped and moderately spread out.
