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.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
