Ramadan Iftar for the Nervous Husband
Is it permissible for me to break my fast for my husband? He fasts during the day of Ramadan and gets tired from fasting, and due to this fatigue, he becomes extremely irritable to the point that he creates problems that do not exist, and he can curse and insult without reason, which makes me wish he were not fasting, knowing that he has diabetes and does not take the prescribed medication believing it harms his health?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is not permissible to break the fast due to fatigue, and he must be patient. If his illness worsens or his recovery is delayed because of fasting, then at that point it is permissible for him to break the fast, and God knows best.
