Question:
Also, he asks Your Eminence, if you would be so kind: about the ruling on fasting in his case? And the situation is as you know?
Answer:
Likewise, the door is one. If you are able to fast, then you must fast like the rest of those who are obligated. And if your illness prevents you from fasting, such that you cannot abstain from food and drink for the entire day because of this illness you have, and the paralysis you have, then you are considered a sick person. And Allah the Exalted says: [al-Baqarah:185].
So the paralysis you have, and the affliction you have, if it affects your stomach and your self, such that you cannot refrain from food and drink like other sick people, then you are excused. You feed one poor person for every day. You gather the food and give it to some of the poor. Fifteen sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) for the month if it is thirty days, and if the month is twenty-nine days, fourteen sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg) and a half. You give it to some of the poor, even if it is just one poor person, at the beginning of the month, or in the middle, or at the end.
If you are unable to fast because of this illness that has befallen you, like other sick people whose recovery is not expected, and like the old, weak man who is unable to fast, he feeds one poor person for every day. And the old woman who is unable to fast because of her advanced age, she feeds one poor person for every day. Half a sa' (a dry measure of about 3 kg), one and a half kilograms for every day. The food is gathered and given to some of the poor, one poor person, or two, or more. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
