Not Fasting on the Doctor's Orders
I am a diabetic patient, and I take insulin. The doctor told me not to fast. I haven't fasted for two years and I pay the expiation, but I want to fast. I'm afraid that if I take the injection, my blood sugar will drop, and if I don't take it, it will rise. Please advise me?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: Adhere to the doctor's advice so that you do not harm yourself, and God does not burden a soul beyond its capacity. Rather, you should fear sin if fasting is harmful to you, and God knows best.
