Allah says… “And as for those who can fast with difficulty, (e.g. an old man), they have (a choice either to fast or) to feed a Miskeen (poor person) every day. But whoever does good of his own accord, it is better for him. And that you fast is better for you if only you know.” [al-Baqarah 2:183-184] Al-Bukhaari (4505) narrated that Ibn ‘Abbaas said: “This has not been abrogated. It refers to old men and old women who are not able to fast, so they should feed a poor person for each day.”
