Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Allah has afflicted me with diabetes, and I fasted three days of Ramadan. It is difficult for me to make up the fasts on workdays. Is it permissible for me to feed a poor person for each day? Or is it permissible for me to appoint another person to fast on my behalf?
Answer:
No, my brother. You have Friday and Thursday, and Friday of every week; you fast on them, praise be to Allah. Yes.
