Pearl of Wisdom

Whoever has been granted three things, receives three other things in addition, and this is the greatest wealth: contentment with what one has been given, despair of other people's possessions, and abandonment of all that is superfluous.'

Category: Medical Issues

Subject:	Ramadan Fasting
Question:	Asalam Alaikum, When a person cannot fast in ramadan due to taking medication, do they have to make up for the fasts once they are off the medication?
Answer:	According to Ayatollah Khamenei's Fatwa, if you were not able to fast due to an illness, then you don't have to perform the qadha for those days. If it's for a regressive flu or similar, then qadha must be performed.
