Fasting for a COVID-19 Patient
A woman has contracted the coronavirus and experiences days of extreme fatigue. Is it permissible for her to break her fast on these days?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: Breaking the fast is based on the harm of increasing the illness and delaying recovery. If your fasting causes that, it is permissible to break the fast and make up for it later, and God knows best.
