Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a person who becomes thirsty after fighting in Ramadan while fasting to drink? And if he drinks, does he have to make up the fast? If eating and drinking would strengthen him for jihad in the path of Allah.
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it. Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) issued a ruling for the Muslims during the invasion of the Tatars that they should break their fast for the sake of jihad, because if they did not break their fast, they would not be able to sustain the jihad. Yes.
