Unable to fast due to asthma

· 9 Rajab 1441 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

A 25 year old person suffers from asthma attacks on and off. The only solution is to take an inhaler which contains medications. How will he fast during Ramadhaan?

Answer

If he cannot keep the qadha because of his chronic ailment then he should give the fidyah for every fast.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
