The ruling on feeding on behalf of a day fasted by a patient with diabetes and high blood pressure
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: My father is suffering from diabetes and high blood pressure, and he broke his fast for one day in Ramadan. Now it is difficult for him to make up the fast because of his illness and the intense heat. Is it permissible for him to feed someone on behalf of that day?
Answer:
He should delay making up the fast until the cool season arrives, and then make it up. If he is unable to do so in either summer or winter, he should feed one poor person on his behalf, and that is sufficient. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
