What should I do if I cannot fast due to illness?

Due to illness, I cannot fast. Would I be responsible to pay Kaffarah and make up the fasting days I missed?

If you do not fast because of illness, you are only required to make up the fast and you do not have to pay a Kaffarah. However, if you delay making up the fast until the next month of Ramadan sets in, you must in addition to making up the fast, pay a Kaffarah of feeding one poor person for each day.
