The Impact of Fasting on a Patient Who Skips Medication
A woman suffers from a nerve disease, and if she fasts and skips her medication schedule, it affects her body. What should she do?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The reason for breaking the fast is the harm of worsening the illness or delaying recovery and the fear of it. Therefore, the assessment of this should be referred to the doctor. If he informs her to break the fast, then she may do so, and God knows best.
