If a sick person fasts in Ramadan, his fast is valid
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Please, yes. If you allow me, may I ask the Shaykh. What is the question? The question, if you please, is that I used to fast in Ramadan.
The Shaykh : She says that she fasted Ramadan, and she had an illness in her, she says, in the passages, so she fasted out of fear that breaking the fast would be forbidden for her, so she fasted Ramadan while she was sick?
The questioner : What is your approximate opinion?
The Shaykh : There is no blame on him for this.
The questioner : All right.
The Shaykh : There is no blame on her, as long as fasting does not harm her.
The questioner : I don’t want to be a nuisance, I mean. She says that she is harmed by fasting, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Then do not return to this; if she is harmed, she should not fast. But as for what she has already fasted, it is valid, and she owes nothing to make up.
The presenter : Okay, may Allah reward you with good, and thanks to Allah.
