Not fasting due to an Ulcers and IBS
Q: Ramadaan is here and I have a bit of a concern about my fasts. I can't keep fasts, the pain in my stomach is excruciating. I can't keep them out of Ramadaan as the same thing happens. Infact on a normal day if I skip a meal or don't eat when I'm hungry then I get that pain. I've been to two doctors and they are of the opinion that I have ulcers as well as IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). During the past Ramadaan I had to stop fasting as I was not responding to the ulcer medication and the pain was unbearable, I'm also told there is no cure for IBS. Am I allowed to not fast and pay for them instead?
