Question:
Salaams,
My 16 year old daughter has just been diagnosed with diabetes type 2. She tried to repay a Ramadan fast yesterday and her sugar level dropped drastically.- broke fast. She still has 4 more to repay. What to do for repayment and next Ramadan?
Answer:
Old people, men and women, in late years of life for whom fasting is harmful and difficult, can break the prescribed fast, but are required to give a substitute by feeding a needy person for each prescribed fast day omitted.
The same is true of a sick person who does not hope to recover during the whole year. The schools concur upon this rule excepting the Hanbalis, who say that giving a substitute is recommended and not obligatory.
