Ruling on the shepherd breaking his fast due to extreme fatigue

Question:
Among the questions of this questioner, he asks: Is it permissible for a shepherd of these sheep and camels to break his fast if he has become extremely tired, especially if he is herding these sheep? Does he find a dispensation to break his fast?

Answer:
This requires a detailed explanation: It is obligatory for him to fast if he is not a traveler in the town or the areas surrounding the town; he must fast. However, if he is a traveler, then he has the dispensation of travel to break his fast. As for if he is a resident, but the matter becomes difficult for him due to herding, the sun, and the heat, then he does not have the permission to break his fast; rather, it is obligatory for him to fast, unless he fears for his life. If it is a dire necessity and he fears for his life, then he may break his fast to avert the harm, and then he abstains from the rest of the day. This is like if extreme thirst overcomes him and he fears for his life; he drinks, and then he abstains, and he makes up this day if it was a dire necessity. Yes.
