Fasting & Health

Illness, medication and seeking qualified medical advice.

Questions

What if fasting could make my health worse? The Quran gives an allowance for someone who is ill or travelling to make up missed fasts later, and says Allah intends ease rather than hardship [1][2]. Ask your clinician about medical risk and a qualified scholar about how the ruling applies to your condition and treatment.
