Question:
The questioner says: I vowed to fast one day and break the fast the next, but I am unable to keep it up due to health conditions. Is there anything required of me?

With this authentic hadith, he said (peace and blessings be upon him): Sahih al-Bukhari 6696 And if you are struck by illness, fast in its place. Fast in its place, the day you were ill, just as He the Exalted and Majestic said: [Al-Baqarah 2:185] The forbidden [days]—fast in their place on another day, the day you were ill. Yes.
