Fasting of one who does heavy work in Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
I have heavy work there that I cannot fast while doing. Does it catch up with me as a major debt throughout the year? I have heavy work?
The Shaykh:
Yes, she is paid wages. For eleven months she works, and in the month of Ramadan she lightens her heavy work in exchange for the ease she has in the eleven months. And a person opens the door to sin. A person like 'Umar’s age and he is promising, yes, yes, he is far away. He must lighten it so that he can manage. But if it is a dire necessity, like the fear of death, like something where he is facing a mouthful of food that saves him only by breaking the fast, this is an urgent matter. If it is a dire necessity, it is a different matter.
The questioner:
So he has heavy work and Ramadan comes to him. In this case, he cannot fast. Does he fast or what does he do?
The Shaykh:
This is something else. If you find rare cases that have no ruling,[At-Taghabun 64:16] Allah, [At-Talaq 65:7] He says, [At-Talaq 65:7] and if you find the style of manipulation, then fear Allah as much as you are able, for manipulation

So fear Allah as much as you are able
فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْLet a man of wealth spend from his wealth, and he whose provision is restricted - let him spend from what Allah has given him. Allah does not charge a soul except [according to] what He has given it. Allah will bring about, after hardship, ease.
