He has a stomach ulcer and the doctors have advised him not to fast
Question: 106467
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
He is allowed not to fast, but he has to make it up after he recovers if there is the hope that he will recover. If that is not the case and it is not possible that he will recover from this sickness, then he may feed one poor person for each day of the month of Ramadaan. End quote.
Fataawa al-Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ibraaheem (may Allah have mercy on him) (4/180).
