Ruling on a sick person breaking his fast during the day in Ramadan due to a doctor's order
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q453: The questioner asks: What is the ruling on a sick person breaking his fast during the day in Ramadan due to a doctor's order?
A453: The best course is for the sick person not to make things difficult for himself, nor to burden himself with what is hard for him. If the doctor advises him to break his fast, he should break it; because the doctor may know the illness and its complications, and know the effect of fasting on it, so he should be followed in this matter, and a person should not make things difficult for himself. The reward lies in taking the legal dispensation, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Bulugh al-Maram 2:341 .

Allah the Most High loves that His permissions be practiced, just as he dislikes that disobedience to Him be committed.
إن الله يحب أن تؤتى رخصه كما يكره أن تؤتى معصيته
