Performing Surgical Operations During the Daytime of Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: There are commercial surgical operations, which may be performed at any time without affecting the person's health from a previous surgery. Some doctors work on performing these operations during the month of Ramadan, which leads to the patient's insistence. There are some patients who feel, or may be limited to, having operations on the [unclear] on the excuse of the small number of patients, without pressure on the operations. Is it considered performing commercial [unclear] operations, especially if the patient insists on the [unclear] of the patients?
The Shaykh:
The importance of prayer, and the importance of fasting in Ramadan, which is also a pillar of Islam. But Allah has granted a dispensation to the sick person; He granted him a dispensation:[An-Nisa 4:43] [Al-Baqarah 2:183-184] the hereafter. So if you are sick and need treatment, and treatment is decided for you during the daytime of Ramadan, there is no harm; you get treated and break your fast, there is no harm. You are sick, and the sick person is granted a dispensation. Also, perhaps the appointment is missed and you do not get it until late, or the doctor leaves and you do not get a doctor. So if treatment is decided for you during the daytime of Ramadan, get treated and make up the day from another day, and praise be to Allah.
The questioner:
A question that means nothing.
The Shaykh:
He does not permit it; rather, he is rewarded with a good intention; because these are patients, and perhaps if they were left, the illness would increase upon them. So he does not permit it, but he is rewarded for this. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,

And if you are ill
وَإِن كُنتُم مَّرْضَىٰdecreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous - (184) [Fasting for] a limited number of days. So whoever among you is ill or on a journey [during them] - then an equal number of days
كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ أَيَّامًا مَّعْدُودَاتٍ فَمَن كَانَ مِنكُم مَّرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِّنْ أَيَّامٍThe questioner:
