Is fasting obligatory for one suffering from diabetes and ulcers?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our sister says: I am ill with diabetes and ulcers, so if I am unable to fast, what is obligatory for me to do?
Answer:
You must consult a specialist doctor. If the specialist doctor determines that fasting will harm you, then break your fast and make up the missed days after you recover. If Allah grants you health, you make them up afterwards. If the specialist doctor or the specialist doctors determine that this illness is permanently harmed by fasting, and that, to their knowledge, the illness will continue and its cure is not expected, then you break your fast and feed one poor person for every day, and praise be to Allah. Fasting is not obligatory upon you, [Surat al-Taghabun: 16].

فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ
