Ramadhan qadha fasting is fasting that is done to replace the Ramadan fasting that is missed for certain reasons, such as illness, menstruation, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or traveling. Fasting qadha Ramadhan is obligatory for people who are able to do it, based on the words of Allah SWT:
So (it is obligatory for him to fast) as much as the day he left on the other days. (QS. Al-Baqarah: 184)

“Ayymam ma'ddt, fa mang kna mingkum maran au 'al safarin fa 'iddatum min ayymin ukar, wa 'alallana yuqnah fidyatun a'mu miskn, fa man taawwa'a khairan fa huwa khairul lah, wa an tam khairul lakum ing kuntum ta'lamn”
It means:
“(that is) on some specific days. So whoever among you is sick or on a journey (and breaks his fast), then (it is obligatory for him to fast) as much as the days he missed on other days. And it is obligatory for people those who do it (if they do not fast) pay fidyah, (that is): feed a poor person. Whoever willingly does good deeds, that is better for him. And fasting is better for you if you know.” (QS. Al-Baqarah: 184)
When fasting Ramadan, you should also understand the intention. As explained by Sheikh Sulaiman Al-Bujairimi in his Hashiyatul Iqna that:
It is required to set the intention at night for obligatory fasting such as Ramadan fasting, qadha fasting, or nadzar fasting. This condition is based on the hadith of the Prophet SAW, Whoever does not make up his mind before dawn, then there is no fasting for him. Therefore, there is no other way except intending to fast every day based on the redaction of the zahir hadith, (See Sheikh Sulaiman Al-Bujairimi, Hasyiyatul Iqna, (Darul Fikr, Beirut: 2007 M/1428 H), vol II).
