The ruling on one who breaks his fast on the pretext of illness while appearing healthy
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I have seen some people in the month of Ramadan who are not fasting, and they say that they are afflicted with some illness, but their appearance is that they are in perfect health. What is your guidance?
Answer:
They know their own condition best. If the illness is severe and makes it difficult for them, they have an excuse; for Allah the Exalted says: [al-Baqarah:185] Even if his appearance is good, because the illness may be internal and not apparent to people. If the illness he feels causes him pain and makes fasting difficult, then Allah has excused him , even if he appears healthy among people. This is a matter between him and Allah. He should fear Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). If the illness makes it difficult for him, he is excused and may break his fast, and then he must make up the fast. If it does not make it difficult for him, it is obligatory for him to fast, and he should fear Allah in that matter . Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
They know their own condition best. If the illness is severe and makes it difficult for them, they have an excuse; for Allah the Exalted says:
and whoever is ill or on a journey - then an equal number of other days
