Fasting with Medical Condition

Question:

As-Salam Alaykum,
Dearest Scholar,

I have been diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder for which I take SSRIs for medication. The side effect for this medication is dry mouth. I generally need to drink a sip of water every 15 mins or I begin to feel uncomfortable. When I’ve attempted fasting Ramadan in the past I found the thirst unbearable. Because of this I have missed many holy Ramadan fast days which I have not made up for the past 3 years (since I converted to Islam). Does my above condition exempt me from fasting? Can I pay to feed the poor instead?

Thank you for your time. May Allah send His blessings upon you and your family.

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

You are unable to fast due to a disabling disease. Therefore, you shall compensate for not fasting by feeding a poor person for every day of fasting you have missed.

Dream: Occean

Dream:

Assalamoualaikoum,

I saw my self near an occean. the waves were high. I was just between the occean and the wall. I was walking between the occean and the wall but i saw that it get straighter. I decided to go back. On my way back I get like half wet. when i reach a place i saw that i have to jump, i didnot dare though it was not very high. I saw there is also stairs through which i can go, I take the stairs(not many). Then I saw two unknown men, I ask one of them to serve like my father and to walk with me ( because i was afraid of some men there). I thought he is old but when he smiles to me showing acceptance to help, his face shows not that old. I saw my husband calling my name.
JazakoumAllahkhayeran

Interpretation:

wa `alaykum salam,

The dream shows you approaching the Oceans of Divine Knowledge, and going up the stairs is an ascension towards higher stations.

The evil men you saw are your four enemies, nafs, dunya, hawa and shaytan and the two men whom you asked to serve as your father are your spiritual elders, Mawlana Shaykh Muammad Nazim al-Haqqani and Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani. That signifies through their help, as represented by the old man – who in reality is young, because his heart is always receiving fresh outpourings from the Divine Presence – you will be able to reach these Divine gnosis oceans, insha-Allah. And, as Mawlana Shaykh has often explained, for a woman that is through good conduct with her husband and for the man, in good conduct with his Shaykh.

And Allah knows best,

Blue Man

Question:

Salams,

When I was 8-9 years old, I saw a tall dark blue man, like a shadow, spirit. Very calm, strong, handsome. Recently, after rain, sun rays reflected from water drew an image of face against a blue wooden board. It was a blue, handsome face. Very mysterious and it was looking at me… Nobody seemed to notice it. I even took a picture of it. I wish I could show it to Shaykh, but cannot travel. I hope to know who it is or what it means. Your opinion is precious. Thank you.
If needed I can e-mail the picture

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

Email the picture and insha-Allah this is one picture from many pictures of Sayyidina al-Khidr (a.s.).
