Sheikh
Uthaimeen, may Allaah have mercy on him, was asked, “What is the
scale/degree of harm according to which a fast becomes harmful for someone who
is ill and after which it becomes forbidden?”
He
replied, “Indeed, harm is known through feeling & it may be known by being
informed of it. As for knowing it by feel then it is if an ill person
feels that the fast is harming him & making his pain worse & delaying
his recovery. And as for [recognizing that] by being informed then it is
if a knowledgeable, trustworthy, doctor tells him that [it is harmful], &
it is not a condition that the doctor be a Muslim.”
Ash-Sharh al-Mumti, vol. 6,
pp. 328-329.
