Excuses for not fasting

An apology (or statement) is a factor that stops a person from fasting. There are eight factors that are excuses for not fasting and are not sinful when fasting: illness, alienation, compulsion not to fast, pregnancy, breastfeeding, hunger, dehydration, and old age.
1. If the patient fears an exacerbation of human disease or a delay in recovery.
2. If a pregnant woman fears that her unborn child will fall or that she will die or become ill.
3. If the breastfeeding woman fears that she or the breastfeeding child will become ill or weak. It doesn’t matter if the child is your own child or someone else’s child. This topic is based on a conclusion from a past experience of fear or the advice of a straightforward expert and a Muslim doctor.
4. Suffering from dehydration leading to death.
5. It is permissible for a person to break his fast when he is starving to death.
