The fasting of a traveller
• When a person qualifies as a travelling person, he has

the option of keeping the fast or postponing the fast and
make up for it on his return after Ramadan.

readily available, so a person must judge how difficult
his journey is and whether he should postpone his fast or
not.

and finds it difficult to keep the fast due to his illness, he is
allowed to miss the fast.

Ramadan.

fast, he is allowed the terminate his fast.

 Similarly, if a person fears that his illness will get worse or

it will cause delay in recovery of health then he is exempt
from fasting until he gets better.
If a person suffers from asthma and has to take inhaler

regularly, he is exempt from fasting.
 It is important to understand that a sick person cannot

miss his fast on his own presumptions, doubts and on his
own will.
Roza-Sawm
If there is no hope of getting better, then people can

make-up for their missed fasts by feeding a needy
person twice a day for every missed fast.
 Rather than giving food to poor and needy people,

equivalent amount of money can also be given to them.
Roza-Sawm
The fast of the elderly

at any time of the year and there are no prospects of
him getting better then it is permissible for him not to
fast and just pay the ransom.
If he cannot afford to pay the ransom being poor and

needy then he should seek forgiveness from Allah for
his shortcomings.

“when it is the first night of the month of Ramadan the evil devils are
chained. the gate of fire are locked-not a single gate is opened, and the
gate of paradise are opened –not a single gate is locked, and a caller calls
out: O seeker of good come forward and o seeker of evil withhold, and
there are many whom Allah free from fire-and that is every night”.
