Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner, Maryam Hussein, has a set of questions. She asks: Do tears break the fast of the one who is fasting?
The Shaykh : Tears from the eyes do not break the fast of the one who is fasting. Rather, if they are from the fear of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), they are praiseworthy. If they are from pain in the eye, a person has no control over them. If they are from weeping over a loss, that is part of human nature. In summary, no matter how abundant the tears are, they do not break the fast of the one who is fasting. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
