Q&A · Fasting

Who is exempt from fasting?

The sick and the traveller may break the fast and make up the days later; the elderly and chronically ill who cannot fast feed a needy person for each day instead. Pregnant and breastfeeding women who fear harm may also postpone, according to the guidance of scholars.
