Trying to fast in Ramadhaan despite one's ill-health
Question
If I make intention not to fast this Ramadan because of bad health and I pay fidyah, can I still try to fast 1 or 2 days in Ramadan?
Answer
Yes, this will be greatly rewarding if you feel that you might manage to fast.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
