Ruling 1562 — Fasting (Ṣawm)

One cannot break his fast in the month of Ramadan on account of feeling weak, even if the weakness caused is severe. However, if one’s weakness is to such an extent that normally it could not be endured, then based on obligatory precaution, one is permitted to eat or drink to the extent that is necessary. In such a case, the person must abstain for the rest of the day from the things that invalidate a fast, and he must keep a qaḍāʾ fast for it after the month of Ramadan; however, kaffārah will not be obligatory for him.[1]
