Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: A man in his nineties suffers from diabetes and high blood pressure, and he cannot refrain from water. Does he break his fast and feed people?
Answer:
Yes, this is a chronic illness. He breaks his fast and feeds one poor person for every day, with half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) of food, which is one and a half kilograms for each day, meaning forty-five kilograms for the month of Ramadan. It is permissible whether he distributes it separately or all at once, and whether he gives it to several poor people or to one poor person. Yes.
