Question:
The doctor who orders breaking the fast in Ramadan: Does one listen to any doctor, or is it required that he be a Muslim?
Answer:
If he is a specialist in the profession and skilled in it, yes. And if the patient feels, for example, that he himself feels the need to break the fast, along with the doctor’s statement that he should break it. If the patient does not feel the need to break the fast, is able to fast, and sees that he is capable of fasting, then he should not rely on the statement of a non-Muslim doctor.
