For those Muslim Brothers and Sisters who are unable to Fast in Ramadan 2019 due to health issues etc.We have compiled a list of tips to gain the maximum benefit of Ramadan 2019 even though you cannot fast.
When Can you Skip a Fast in Ramadan?
It’s important to note that if you are not able to fast (for sickness, etc.) you should make them up when you are not ill: “and whoever is ill or on a journey, the same number [of days which one did not observe Sawm (fasts) must be made up] from other days” [al-Baqarah 2:185]
Also, if you can really never fast (a permanent illness, etc.) then you should feed a poor person for every day of Ramadan: “And as for those who can fast with difficulty, (e.g. an elder), they have (a choice either to fast or) to feed a poor person (for every day)” [al-Baqarah 2:184]Some references from the Holy Quran.
