Taking medicine in the daytime of Ramadan

314

A: If the case is as you mentioned, and you are unable to fast because you need to take the medicine during the daytime, and the illness you have continues throughout the whole year, it is permissible for you not to observe Sawm and you must feed one Miskin (needy) for each day an amount of half a Sa` (1 Sa` = 3 kg. Approx.) from the country's staple food such as rice. May Allah grant you recovery and good health. (Part No. 9; Page No. 113) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
