وبركاته الحمد لله رب العالمين والصلاة والسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين هذا الشهر هو شخص جديد من رمضان ورحمة الله وبركاته وما فعلناه هو أننا نساعدهم معهم ومجمعهم إلى أسئلة أسئلة ولكن من الناس who asked this question مع هؤلاء who asked about someone who is very old who isn't necessarily sick but they are very old are they exempt from fasting someone else asked about type 1 diabetes and there were others who asked about a seher and el-waswasa about magic and about whispering from the shepan so what I wanted to do is to amalgamate these questions together and bring it into a single question about those that are exempt from fasting so we're going to come first of all and we're going to mention a few different statements of the scholars in this regard so that we can get an idea of what the limits would be in terms of what sicknesses are an excuse for breaking the fast and what aren't and then insha'Allah we'll come to try to summarize it in a simple way insha'Allah for everybody so ابن قدامة in his book المغني رحم الله تعالى he said he said the sickness which allows a person to break a fast or not to fast is that which is strong it's شديد it's severe the one that will get worse through fasting or whose recovery would be slowed down because of fasting so we can see from this that there is a it's not every kind of sickness it's not everything and then he mentioned from أليمام أحمد that he was asked about fever and he mentioned that أليمام أحمد included fever in the things that were permissible to break the fast for so we can see that it's not every kind of sickness and we're going to come to some examples of that and he also said and he mentioned another category he said he said he said the healthy person who's scared that they're going to become sick so here we're dealing with another side to the another side to the to the مسألة and that is a healthy person who today when they started the morning the morning came and they're healthy but they fear that if they fast they're going to become sick and it's not an irrational fear but a genuinely they have a sickness like for example diabetes or something like that where if they fast they fear that they will become sick he said that that is the same as the sick person who's fear who fears getting worse those two are the same and now in his مجموع he also he also mentioned المريض العجز عن صوم he mentioned the person who is sick and unable to fast لمرضن يورجاز واله لا يلزمه صوم the person who he thinks he's going to get better it's not a permanent sickness that person doesn't have to fast but here and you know he mentioned he mentioned here إذا لحقه مشق ظاهرة بالصوم he said this has to be a clear harm in this person fasting there has to be a clear hardship and a clear harm in this person fasting he said الذي لا يلحقه به مشقات ظاهرة لم يجز له الفطر بلا خلاف عندنا he said the person who has a very small sickness that really isn't any great hardship for that person to bear it's not allowed for them to break their fast and there is no disagreement in this issue among us among the there is no difference in this example and رحم الله تعالى he gave some examples of the sicknesses which are very mild and which you can't break your fast for he said the sick person who doesn't actually get affected by fasting he gave an example of having a cold or a mild headache or a small amount of tooth pain he said that person is not allowed to break their fast so we've understood from this that the issue of the person fasting the sicknesses we can divide them into two categories those sicknesses which really are easy to manage with fasting a person can manage it you have a headache you could have a headache the day you're not fasting also if it's mild we're not talking about the severe migraine that a person desperately needs to take a painkiller for it but we're talking about a mild headache a mild cold a person who just doesn't feel very good on the first day that they fast or one of the days that they fast maybe they miss the صحور and they feel a bit hungry and they just feel a bit ratty and irritable these are not permissible for a person to break their fast for what is permissible is that which is شديد it has a degree of severity it has a degree of seriousness and which it has مشقة in it it has hardship in it for the person who would wish too fast and we can link that to the statement of Allah when you read when you read Allah wants things to be easy and not to be difficult so we understand that someone who's coming to physical harm extreme harm is hospitalized or the person is going to die because of it or they put in their health at risk in a serious way that person shouldn't be fasting they shouldn't be fasting and they shouldn't be kidding themselves and telling themselves that I should be fasting that person they shouldn't be fasting and likewise the person who has that mild illness or mild conditions that person should not be breaking shouldn't be breaking their fast so here we can categorize some categories here we can bring and summarize and talk about some categories we can say the sickness which is going to get significantly worse or the cure for it is going to become significantly delayed that's one example of a sickness that you should not fast with one that is going to get worse or one in which your cure is going to be significantly delayed we're not talking about get worse like you have a headache and you fast and it gets a little bit more but it gets significantly worse or the delay is significant the second one is that which there is there is great hardship for the person to fast in that situation and the third one is when a person genuinely feels genuinely feels that they will become sick and we're not talking about about false ideas and false concepts but somebody who has a real medical reason to believe that they will become sick with a sickness which is serious if they were to fast if they were to fast and that's why here the scholars they don't require necessarily that it is a shot for the person to go to the doctor but many times in the fatawa of the scholars you see that they advise the people to go to the doctors and ask them and this is important because even though we don't make it a condition and we don't say that it's a condition for the person and we don't find in the books of the Fouqa Ha'a that they made it a condition that a person must go to the doctor and get a permission like a signal but what we would say is that many people struggle to categorize whether their sickness is really going to is really affected by fasting or it's really serious or it's really going to get worse so in this case they should go to the doctor but in this I would give you one piece of advice which is I would advise that you are careful if you do have to go to a non-muslim doctor because a non-muslim doctor it may not understand how important it is for a Muslim to fast and they may say oh it's better for you not to fast I don't recommend for you to fast we don't think you should fast when really they don't actually have the way to measure up the importance of fasting versus the sickness so I think it's better if you do go to a non-muslim doctor you would it like that and you say to them will I come to physical harm or will my sickness become significantly worse if I were to fast am I going to come to significant harm or significant difficulty if I fast or is there a way I could change my medication or change my situation so that I would be able to fast and if the doctor says no I'm sorry that's not possible then Alhamdulillah the person has done what is obligatory upon them as for the one who is suffering from it was worse then my advice in this regard is not to decide for yourself because the one suffering from is seher and muscle gin being possessed by the gin and the similar kind of sicknesses the shey plan has a degree of hold over them and that degree of hold over them or influence over them it could lead a person to go away from obedience to Allah because of what the shey plan the shey plan tells you it's hard for you to fast you can't fast so my recommendation would be this decision should not be made by you rather you should discuss how you feel with a person of knowledge who knows your situation and knows your sickness perhaps if you have a Iraqi or someone like that who is observing your case or even if you don't and you have someone of knowledge in these cases who can look into your situation uniquely and advise you because I fear that a lot of people who have waswas the shey plan will tell them not to fast and make them feel as though they can't fast when in reality the only one that would come to harm is the shey plan and if we look at the issue of the sicknesses being those which are going to delay the cure or the cure is going to become delayed rather we feel the opposite the one who has waswas was seher al-mas this person it is believed and hope their cure will speed up through fasting not slow down through fasting and there remains one issue because type 1 diabetes was mentioned and type 1 diabetes is a kind of sickness which is one of the things the scholars talk about المزمنة the sicknesses which don't get better usually speaking generally speaking they're sicknesses that don't get better and in this a person is not required to make up the days because they can't make up you can't make up any days if you believe that it's it's not likely you will ever be able to fast so you can't then make up the days so what you have to do is you have to feed a poor person نسفة صار half of a صار you could measure it at one and a half liters or many of the scholars said that you can approximate it at one and a half kilograms and here there comes another question which a person might ask which is that if I believe that I have a sickness that can't be cured let's say type 1 diabetes and I believe it it's not going to be cured and then what happens is later on I receive some experimental treatment or I go to a different doctor and I realize that I can fast I take a different kind of insulin or I have a different kind of tablet or a different kind of injection and I realize that I'm able to fast then in this case what do I have to do so in this the scholars differed over 3 opinions and it seems to me that the correct opinion is that the person does not have to make up those fast from before but they only had to have paid the video for it that's enough if they paid the نصف صعب for every day that they didn't fast then inshallah after that when they're able to fast again they fast inshallah so we hope that has answered the question with regard to the kinds of sicknesses that a person is exempt from fasting 4 and Allah عز وجل knows best والصلاة والسلام على نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبي أجمعين
