Fasting for the Kidney and Diabetes Patient

Question:
Sa'd from Dammam, go ahead, Sa'd. Hello, peace be upon you. And upon you, peace. And upon you, peace. Sa'd, turn the television down a little. Shaykh, I only have two questions. The first question is that I am, of course, a kidney patient, and I have diabetes and high blood pressure. I went for a checkup at the hospital, and the doctor said, meaning, it is best that you do not fast for long periods so that the kidneys do not dry out from the water. So it is best, meaning, that you break your fast. So I do not know, Shaykh, should I fast or break my fast? I mean, if I break my fast, what is upon me? Listen to the answer, Sarah. And regarding the second question, my brother. Wait, wait.

Answer:
My brother, if fasting causes you harm and the doctor has forbidden you from fasting, do not fast. If you are able to make up the fasts later, then you make them up, and praise be to Allah. If you are not able, then you feed one poor person for every day, and this is sufficient in place of the fast, . They are those who are unable to fast, neither in its proper time nor by making it up, such as a kidney patient, such as, and other illnesses with which fasting is not possible. He feeds one poor person for every day. Yes.
