Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And peace be upon you.
The questioner : The Shaykh : Nasser?
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : How are you, Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah.
The questioner: Shaykh, I want to ask you a question, if you please.
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner: May Allah increase your virtue. My wife fasted for twenty-eight days in Ramadan.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner: Due to childbirth, of course.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner: Some of the days, she gets dizzy, I mean.
The Shaykh: When does she get dizzy?
The questioner : How?
The Shaykh: When does she get dizzy?
The questioner: Always, I mean.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner: I mean, even on normal days, she feels dizzy.
The Shaykh: Okay, she is sick.
The questioner: No doctor, no Shaykh, it is normal for her to feel dizzy.
The Shaykh : For what?
The questioner : By Allah, O Shaykh, I do not know.
The Shaykh: You must take her to a doctor, because dizziness is not normal. Now, what is the question?
The questioner: The question is, does she fast to make up the days she missed, or do we pay money, for example?
The Shaykh: No, you do not pay money; rather, she feeds people with the money.
The questioner : Yes?
The Shaykh: She feeds, she feeds one poor person for each day.
The questioner: Is it permissible, I mean, for us to feed people?
The Shaykh: May Allah guide you. I am telling you that it is not permissible to pay money, but she must feed one poor person for each day.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, and that is all.
The questioner: Okay, Shaykh, may Allah bless you.
The Shaykh: And you, and may He bless you.
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And peace be upon you.
