Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling regarding those patients who suffer from kidney disease and kidney dialysis and who frequent hospitals? How do they deal with fasting?
Answer:
They do not fast on the day of the dialysis. They do not fast because medicines are introduced into their bodies, and water is introduced into them. The day on which the dialysis takes place is considered to break the fast. When the dialysis is finished, they abstain for the rest of the day, but they must make up the fast. They are excused in this matter. Yes.
