Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
[Al-Fatihah 1:1-2] And prayers and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah. The questioner says: A sick person was ordered by the doctors not to fast because of the danger it posed to him, but he fasted and Allah took his soul while he was fasting. Does he bear any sin?
Answer:
He is to be hoped for forgiveness and mercy because he fasted seeking the reward and recompense. He exerted himself in this, so he is rewarded and granted reward, if Allah wills. If he had broken his fast, it would have been better. Yes.
(1) In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. (2) [All] praise is [due] to Allah, Lord of the worlds -
