Fasting to bring one's sugar levels down
Q: Outside Ramadhaan, one frequently fasts but one’s object is really to try and get sugar levels down. Would such fasts be deemed nawaafil fasts or merely regarded as a personal exercise not deserving of any reward?
A: If it is done only to decrease sugar levels it will not have any virtue and thawaab.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
