Assalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullaah
I won't be able to fast this ramadan because of an illness that I have - what are the steps I need to take next? E.g. how many people per day do I have to feed, etc.?
Can't fast due to illness - then what?

Re: Can't fast due to illness - then what?
If you are experiencing such an illness that you are unable to fast, due to deteriorating health, then you will be excused from fasting. If you expected to recover from this illness, then you will have to make up (Qadhaa of) these missed fasts.
However, if the sickness is permanent and there is no hope of recovery then she must offer fidya (monetary compensation) for every missed fast.
The value of this Fidya is the same as Sadaqatul fitr, which is the value of 1.6 kg of wheat or 3.2 kg of barley. The present average value of 1.6kg of wheat is R17.00 .

Sorry, but maulana abuhajira, the value you gave for 1.6 kg of wheat was in what currency? Dollars? I need to know for zakat al-Fitr.
Re: Can't fast due to illness - then what?
You can ask Mufti 'Abd ar-Rahman Ibn Yusuf.
He said the price in his lecture today, but I do not remember it.
Re: Can't fast due to illness - then what?
I paid £4 per fast, Jazaak Allaah Khayr for all help.
