Question:
This is also a case of a woman who has diabetes. She ate the pre-dawn meal early, before the call to prayer, and then fell asleep. She woke up feeling very thirsty and feared for her health because of the illness, so she drank a glass of water while she could hear the imam leading the people in the Fajr prayer. What is the ruling on this? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The ruling is that she must make up this day because she drank during the day, as the time when the imam establishes the prayer is during the day. So she must make up this day. Yes, she is considered a patient if she is unable to fast because of the diabetes. A patient is permitted to break her fast, but she must make up the days she broke. Yes.
