Ramadhaan & Fasting

Not fasting due to weakness

Q: If a woman is having much weakness that whenever she walks a near distance, she gets pale and feeling nausea also. she wants to observe fast in up coming Ramadan Mubarak, but about the compact strength for fast, she is scary. what does shari'ah says about observing fast in such condition? and if she is not able to observe fast, then what should she do for this fardh ibadat i.e is qadha is valid here?

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?

Not fasting due to an Ulcer

Q: I have an ulcer and what happens is that if I do not eat than I get sever pains which is really bad times. The doctor advised me to eat quite often and not let my tummy go empty. I find it hard to disobey the command of Allah Ta'ala and I love fasting so much! Can I just carry on fasting?
