The ruling on breaking the fast for a person with a chronic illness
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: My doctor ordered me to take medication during the daytime in Ramadan for the entire month, and this illness continues with me. What is required of me regarding making up the fasts? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
If you are suffering from a chronic illness for which no cure is expected, then you break your fast in Ramadan and feed one poor person for each day in place of fasting; because you are unable to do so, neither by performing it in its proper time nor by making it up. Yes.
