The ruling on the fasting of a sick person whom the doctors advised to break the fast out of fear for his life

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A man suffering from a stomach ulcer, and the doctors advised him to break the fast and not to fast out of fear for his life, but he fasted and ignored their advice,

The Shaykh : Does he sin because he? put himself in danger, or does he have a reward for that? If this man finds fasting difficult, but he endures it, then he has erred in leaving the dispensation of Allah the Exalted, because Allah said
and whoever is ill or on a journey - then an equal number of other daysوَمَن كَانَ مَرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِّنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ
[Al-Baqarah 2:185]
If that leads to harm, he may be sinful, because he threw himself into destruction, but if it is not difficult for him and he does not feel any harm
