  • Abstain From Fasting In Times Of Hardship

    Posted by Mohammed Zubair Alam on April 6, 2022 at 10:07 am

    If I feel I’m having trouble fasting during my exams , can I avoid it?.

    As the Principle is to avoid hardship in the matters of worship.

    Although I will fast but still just want to know the ruling..

      Thank you so much.🙏🏻

      1)So If a person feels hardship , he/she can avoid fasting during ramadan ,right? And now this “Hardship” is subjective to an individual.

      2) Also, is there any command to make up the missed fasts?

      Believers! Fasting has been made obligatory upon you as it was made upon those before you so that you become fearful of God. These are but a few days, but if any one among you is ill or on a journey, let him fast a similar number of days later; and those who have the capacity [to feed a needy] should feed a needy in place of it. Then he who does a virtuous deed of his own accord, it is better for him and if you fast, then this is even better for you if you but knew. It is the month of Ramadan in which the Quran was revealed, as a book of guidance for mankind and in the form of manifest arguments which are a means of total guidance and a means of distinguishing right from wrong. Therefore, whoever among you is present in this month, he should fast. And he who is ill or on a journey should fast a similar number of days later on. [This concession is because] God desires ease for you and not discomfort. And [the permission given to travellers and the sick to feed the needy has been withdrawn because] you can complete the fasts [and thus not be deprived of the blessings of fasting] and [for this purpose the month of Ramadan has been fixed so that in the form of the Quran] the guidance God has bestowed upon you, you glorify God and express your gratitude to Him. (Quran 2:183-185)
