Fasting of a patient with kidney failure and diabetes
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 16134 )
Q: Allah the Exalted willed that I be afflicted with diabetes since I was
about 14 years old, until the year 17/1/1411 AH, and I was afflicted with kidney failure, until the year 1412 AH, on the day 16/5/1412 AH, a kidney was transplanted into me in the Arab Republic of Egypt , and it cost me a sum of money that was not small. The month of Ramadan of the year 1412 AH came, and the doctor said: Do not fast. I fed a poor person for every day, and I have a review at the hospital every month and a half. I asked him about fasting, and he said to me: If you are able, then fast, and if you are not able, then do not fast. Knowing that the doctor is Muslim and is of Sudanese nationality. Knowing, O honorable Shaykh, that the doctor said: If you fast, do not work excessively, and do not sleep when night comes so that you compensate for what you lost during the day in fluids. Knowing that I have diabetes treatment that I take in the morning and evening, and treatment that I take at exactly 9 – 10 in the morning, and 9 – 10 in the evening. Knowing that the doctor advised me to drink within 24 hours 4 large bottles of health water or 3 at the very least. Knowing that I had a sharp discussion with the doctor, and he did not say: Leave fasting, nor did he say: Fast. So I ask Allah, then you, to issue a ruling to me on this matter, and whether I should fast or break my fast? May Allah reward you with the best reward.
A: It is obligatory for you to fast if delaying the medication to the night does not harm you. And if fasting is difficult for you, or it increases your illness, or taking the medication is necessary during the day of fasting, then you break your fast and feed a poor person for every day
the amount of one and a half kilograms of the local staple food, if you do not expect recovery from the aforementioned illness, and you are unable to make up the fasts. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
