The ruling on a sick woman breaking her fast on the order of a self-proclaimed doctor
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A woman was suffering from an ailment in her stomach, so a woman who is said to be a doctor treating with herbs came to her and told the sick woman to drink this medicine during the day in Ramadan. The woman drank it, and afterwards she regretted it. Does she have to make up the fast? And what is required of her?
Answer:
This woman is not a doctor; she is a sorceress and a pretender to medicine who wants money, who wants to take money. So this woman erred in that she obeyed her and broke her fast in Ramadan without an excuse, based on the word of the doctor, who is not a doctor, based on the word of this clown and destroyer. So she erred, and she must repent to Allah and make up this day, and she must not return to such a thing. A fasting person only breaks his fast if the doctors decide that fasting will harm him, the specialized doctors decide that fasting will harm him, then he breaks his fast. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, permitted the sick person to break his fast. As for an ignorant woman who claims to treat while she does not know this matter, this is a great error. Yes.
