The answer

It is not permissible to resort to feeding the poor and abandon making up the fasts as long as you are able to do so, because Allah the Almighty says: "Then a [like] number of other days." You are only required to feed one poor person for each day whose makeup you delayed until the next Ramadan began. The amount is approximately one and a half kilograms of rice, and the monetary value is not sufficient according to the majority of scholars.
