Abu Thamer from Jeddah, please go ahead, Abu Thamer.

Hello, yes. Peace be upon you.

And upon you be peace.
The questioner:
May Allah bless you, I would like to ask the Shaykh, may Allah reward you. Please go ahead.
The presenter:
May Allah keep you safe.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good, Shaykh. Hello.
The presenter:
Yes, yes
The Shaykh:
Let's proceed with good.
The presenter:
Please proceed.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good. I am a man who had a kidney transplant abroad, and I broke my fast for two years because the doctor told me not to fast. Is there anything required of me regarding this? Since I naturally asked people and went and gave charity for the amount of the month of Ramadan that I broke my fast for over those two years.
The presenter:
Okay, the Shaykh will answer, thank you.
The questioner:
This is the first question, the second question.
The presenter:
The Shaykh will answer, just a moment, just a moment.
The Shaykh:
If you are unable to fast due to a chronic illness, a kidney transplant, and the doctor tells you not to fast, then you must feed people. But if you are able in the future, and Allah strengthens you to fast in the future, then as for what has passed, and you were unable to fast and fed people on your behalf, that is sufficient, if Allah wills. Yes.
