Question:
His final question mentions that his wife has diabetes, and her blood sugar rises to four hundred. How should she deal with fasting?
Answer:
If she is unable to fast because of the high blood sugar, and this is a permanent excuse in Ramadan and in other times, then this is a chronic illness. It is obligatory for her to feed one poor person for every day, and this suffices in place of fasting. As for if the blood sugar rises at certain times but is normal at other times, then she breaks her fast on the days when it rises, and makes up the fast on the days when the blood sugar is normal. Yes.
