Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
Yes, fasting is waived in his case, and he has to feed one poor person for every day. If he wants he may give each poor person a quarter of a saa’ of rice, and if he adds meat to that, it is better. Or if he wants he may offer them dinner on the last night of Ramadaan, or offer them lunch on another day after Ramadaan. All of that is permissible. End quote.
