The ruling on fasting with diabetes and the mother's fear
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I fast on Mondays, Thursdays, and the white days, but my mother forbids me from fasting because I am sick with diabetes and she is afraid I will get exhausted. I tried to convince her and she agreed. Have I disobeyed my mother?
Answer:
If fasting affects you because of the diabetes, do not fast. This is a matter to be reviewed with the doctor. Do not consult your mother; consult the doctor. If the doctor decides that fasting harms you, do not fast. If the doctor says it does not harm you and there is no objection to it, then fast and inform your mother. Say: I consulted the doctor, and he says there is no danger to you, so that she may be convinced.
