The Ruling on Fasting on Days of Hemodialysis
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Your Eminence, the questioner (E. B. A) says: He has kidney failure and undergoes kidney dialysis for three days a week. Is it permissible for him to fast on these days when Ramadan arrives?
Answer: Yes, it is permissible for him to fast on the days when he does not have dialysis. It is obligatory for him, if he has missed fasts to make up, to make them up on the healthy days when he does not have dialysis. As for voluntary fasting, the matter is broad in this regard. If voluntary fasting harms him, it is better for him to leave off voluntary fasting. But if he has an obligatory fast due to a vow or making up Ramadan, it is obligatory for him to hasten to fast on the days when he does not have dialysis. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
