alhamd there
are reasons and excuses that permit
people to break their
fast because basically Allah
says do not invalidate your own Deeds so
if I started to fast I have to continue
to fast till the end of the day but
there are legitimate excuses to break
your fast or not to fast from the very
beginning the first reason is traveling
and we've stated this before Allah Asel
says in the Quran so whoever among you
is ill or on a journey during them then
an equal number of days are to be made
up so this is a legitimate reason and in
bukari and Muslim anas says may Allah be
pleased with him we used to travel with
the prophet
Al and some of us would fast and some of
some of us would skip so those who
fasted would not look down upon those
who skipped fasting and the same goes
for those who did not fast did not look
down upon those who were
fasting and Scholars say that people who
are
fasting they can
be into three categories or
scenarios
first if
fasting and breaking your
fast is the
same so if a person says I'm traveling
and my flight is about like 15 minutes
or 30 minutes flight and whether I fast
or not it's the same if I continue to
fast there's no hardship at all and if I
break my fast I'm not benefiting at all
in this case fasting is better for you
because you will be fasting Ramadan with
the congregation which is with with the
the umah which is better than making it
up a few months later on your own where
everybody else is
not the second scenario is that I can
fast
but it would be a little bit hard and it
is much easier for me to break my fast
so in this case alhamdulillah you have
the right to continue to fast but it's
best for you it is best to skip it and
take Allah's concession given to you as
a gift in theah of bukari and Muslim Abu
D may Allah be pleased with him says
that we went in an expedition with the
prophet in the month of Ramadan
in a very hot day and some of us to the
extent that used to put his hand over
his head due to the Heat and none of us
was fasting except the prophet and
abdah so the rest of the companions
broke their
fast due to the hardship which was not
fatal which was not something
dangerous so in this case Allah gave you
concession it's best for you to break
your fast but if you insist on
continuing there's no problem because
the prophet did it and abdah as
well the third scenario is that fasting
would lead to harming you and there's
huge
unbearable
hardship so in bukari and Muslim jab
abdah tells us may Allah pleased with
him man with his father that the prophet
Sall was traveling once and he saw a
crowd and in the middle there was a man
who's being shaded upon people are
shading him so he asked what is this so
they said oh prophet of Allah this man
is fasting and he's so tired and beat
that we're shading him and we're trying
to serve him the prophet saidat
that it is not righteous a part of
righteousness to fast when
traveling so all of
these evidences that may sound
conflicting when you combine them you
get these three scenarios and you learn
that what are the types of uh um
scenarios that can be applied when
traveling the second excuse to break
your fast is
illness
and the Shar considered being sick or
ill an excuse that permits you to break
your fast but what kind of an
illness Scholars say the illness that if
you fast your healing process would be
hampered and delayed or you your fasting
would cause you
to be in
danger or that your illness would
increase in this case this is not
permissible for you to
fast but if the illness is
minor and fasting does not impact it so
someone has a cut or a wound in his hand
or in finger
and he says well I'm not going to fast
because I'm sick no this is not
permissible
someone who has a light headache or
toothache again this is not a reason to
break your
fast if someone was chronically ill and
the scholars or the doctors say that
this illness is
incurable and this person is not going
to be able to fast
some people for example have diabetes in
a certain type of Diabetes you must eat
every couple of hours otherwise you're
going to die or suffer in this case such
a person though sick though skipped
Ramadan he's not obliged to make it up
rather he has to feed a poor person for
every for every day that he uh missed
because Allah says in the Quran for
those who can fast only with extreme
difficulty there is a way to compensate
which is to feed a needy person for each
day and this is what
Allah
has made easy for us IB Abbas may Allah
be pleased with him says this Ayah is
for the old man and women who are unable
to to fast they have to feed a poor
person so somewhat sometimes you're not
sick you have no Illness but you're so
old that and and so fatigued that you
can uh not fast in this case you must
pay a uh um a poor person you must feed
that is not pay you must feed you must
give food to a poor person uh uh to
compensate for the M day what is the
food Scholars say that you have to give
one half of a s of wheat dates rice or
other local staple food so half a which
is approximately
1.25 uh
kilog of that was which was mentioned of
what the people usually eat and that
would inshallah um do the
job
now also gave three categories of people
that were sick similar to the people who
were
traveling number one a person whose
illness or sickness is so
minor that would not be impacted by
fasting such as a person who has a cut
or someone who has the flu or a light um
headache this person is not permitted to
break his fast number
two
someone who fighting hard to fast but it
would not harm him so this
person may find the pinch of hunger and
thirst
but it's not going to deteriorate his
condition in this case it's not
recommended for him to fast he has the
concession he should break his fast the
third person is someone who would be
placed in real hardship and a real
lifethreatening
condition so someone when he fasts he's
going to lose
Consciousness
deteriorate his condition delay his
recovery or maybe die so in this case
such a person must not
fast what about those who let's
say
work uh uh a labor
work
someone who has to work
underneath the heat of the Sun
construction workers people that plow
the ground so such people usually in an
hour or two from the beginning of the
day they need to drink they need to eat
to keep some of the energy and go on for
the rest of the day so such
people like those Farmers or uh
blacksmith or those who work in the
mines or they work in construction under
the sun they say that they should take
their pre-dawn meal and have the
intention to
fast and they go to work
fasting during working if they
encounter severe thirst or hunger that
they fear
that they're going to be damaged because
of that they feel that they may faint
or be do something bad for their work or
maybe a
pilot traveling Westbound and after 16
hours 15 hours the guy is flying and he
may endanger his own safety and the
safety of the passengers with them we
say no in in if this is the case you
need to break your fast and what you're
doing is something that requires you to
uh um break your fast because Allah says
and do not kill yourself Allah is
merciful to you Allah doesn't want you
to kill yourself or to endanger your own
safety and the safety of others with you
and Allah Knows Best
