The questioner : This question is from the listener Nu'man al-Sulami from Makkah al-Mukarramah, the capital police. He says: I am a Saudi citizen, and I underwent surgery on my left kidney at the beginning of the blessed month of Ramadan last year. I did not fast that month because I was unable to abstain from water, even for half an hour. I have not made up the fasts until this time. What is obligatory for me?
The Shaykh : We say to this man who had surgery on his kidney and was unable to fast until the time he wrote his question: We say to him, you owe nothing as long as you are unable. If this inability continues with you and the doctors say that you must drink water during this short period, then fasting is not obligatory for you, given that it is likely this will continue with you. You must feed one poor person for every day. Yes.
