If a doctor advises a patient not to fast because he is ill, is it permissible for him to feed a poor person for each day?

The questioner : Yes. Hello, peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. A question for al-Hatim, yes, Shaykh, I am a diabetic patient

The Shaykh : May Allah keep us and you safe.

The questioner : and a patient with kidney failure at the same time, undergoing protein dialysis. I put a solution into my abdomen and drain it out five times a day. This solution contains, among the things in it, sugar. Do I have the right to fast or not?

The Shaykh : Ask the doctors, may Allah bless you. Ask the doctors.

The questioner : The doctor with all his soul.

The Shaykh : I must be.

The questioner : But from a religious standpoint, I abstain.

The Shaykh : Rather, I prefer the religious standpoint.

The questioner : There are two liters in my abdomen daily.

The Shaykh : You say from the religious standpoint.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : If the doctor tells you not to fast, do not fast.

The questioner : No, it means not.

The Shaykh : But is this continuous with you?

The questioner : Yesterday, five times a day, I am abstaining.

The Shaykh : That is my intention, continuous, meaning for a long time.

The questioner : This is for eternity, for eternity.

The Shaykh : If he feeds a poor person for each day.

The questioner : You, a poor person every day.

The Shaykh : I understand, a poor person for each day.

The questioner : Well, is it permissible, for example, to give nuts?

The Shaykh : No.

The questioner : It is not permissible.

The Shaykh : Feeding means either you feed them dinner or you give each person a kilo of rice with a little meat,
