NO RAMADAN FASTING FOR TRAVELER & SICK OR WHEN IT IS TOO HARSH FOR SOMEONE

Sheikh “Muhammad Abduh”(1849-1905) the grand Egyptian & most Islamic countries official edict/Mufti in his time has clarified that as per Quran , the traveler & sick person should not fast in Ramadan & their fasting is not a right act and the Prophet (pbuh)has ordered sahaba not to fast while traveling & he himself did not fast while traveling & described those who fast while traveling as disobeying & wrongful .Moreover Quran verses has clearly commanded travelers to breakfast & did not give them the option of fasting or breakfasting , but commanded to breakfast only & then fast equal days later after the traveling ends. Quran said that ALLAH wants ease for Muslims & not hardship , thus any attempt to make the religion hard despite the ease wanted by Allah is an attempt to oppose the command of Allah & Islam .. see Quran verses 2;185

“فَمَن شَهِدَ مِنكُمُ الشَّهْرَ فَلْيَصُمْهُ ۖ وَمَن كَانَ مَرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِّنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ ۗ يُرِيدُ اللَّـهُ بِكُمُ الْيُسْرَ وَلَا يُرِيدُ بِكُمُ

الْعُسْرَ

translation is “ So whoever witnesses the month, let him fast it; and whoever is ill or on a journey – then an equal number of other days. Allah wants for you ease and does not want for you hardship”————- Also ss per Quran verse , those who find real hardship in fasting which can endanger their health or life , then they are to breakfast & feed a poor person every day against the breakfasted days Q2;184

وَعَلَى الَّذِينَ يُطِيقُونَهُ فِدْيَةٌ طَعَامُ مِسْكِينٍ

translation “And upon those who are able [to fast, but with hardship] – a ransom [as substitute] of feeding a poor person [each day]”.———–
