I work with 2 asian lasses and they have broken their's because they seriously needed a drink of water. We work 12 hour shifts in a nursing home, that can get really hot and the only way to cope is the have a drink of water to keep hydrated. Now I know it's religion but who in there right mind stops people from having a drink when they really need one??  |
If one's condition preventing fasting is only temporary, one is required to make up for the days missed after the month of Ramadan is over and before the next Ramadan arrives. If one's condition is permanent or present for an extended period of time, one may make up for the fast by feeding a needy person for every day missed. Problem solved.
