Answers: 13Subcategories: 2Fasting of the Sick Person
Permissibility of Not Fasting Due to Need of Ruqyah Water on an Empty Stomach
2,095Is it obligatory to fast Ramadan for one who has Covid-19?
2,362Is it permissible for him not to fast because he has chronic constipation and needs to take medication and laxatives?
1.. If you will suffer real hardship from fasting, for which you need to take medication or laxatives by mouth, it is permissible for you not to fast. But if the medication can be taken by injection or by rectal suppositories, this does not invalidate the fast, so in this case it is not permissible to take the medication by mouth, because that breaks the fast in Ramadan with no excuse. 2. If you do not fast, then the matter should be examined further: if the sickness is one from which there is hope of recovery, even after a few months, then in that case you may not fast, and you should make up the fasts later on, when it becomes easy for you to make them up, even if you spread out the days on which you fast, and it is not acceptable for you to feed poor people instead. But if a trustworthy doctor says that it is a sickness from which there is no hope of recovery, and you cannot fast except with real difficulty, because you need to break the fast in order to take medicine, then in this case you should feed one poor person for each day. Please see the long answer.8,413A new Muslimah is suffering from anxiety and insomnia. Is it permissible for her not to fast in Ramadan?
If your wife who is a new Muslim will not face hardship if she fasts, then it is not permissible for her not to fast. You must explain that to her, and tell her that not fasting is a major sin. She should consult a doctor about the sleep issues and anxiety, and there is nothing wrong with taking medicine for that, if necessary. Whatever she needs of medicine to help her sleep or deal with anxiety, and the like, can be taken at night, so long as that is possible, so that she can maintain her fast and not transgress the sanctity of the month just because of anxiety or anxious thoughts.6,870If fasting causes heavy menstrual bleeding, anaemia and lethargy, can she not fast?

11,565He is asking about a source for a report from Abu Haneefah and ‘Ali about their view that women who were pregnant and breastfeeding should make up the fasts and do not have to offer the fidyah
3,813She lost a lot of weight due to illness; is it permissible for her not to fast?
