Lesson Those Who Allah Has Given Permission to Break Fast
Who Allah Permitted to Break Fast
Then it is permissible for them to break fast. They make up what they broke in fasting after Ramadan if they are from those who are hoped to recover.
For elderliness or disease in which recovery is not hoped for, then breaking fast is permissible for them and they feed in place of each day a miskeen (needy person) giving him/her what amounts to a kilo(gram) and a half of the staple of the land.
So fasting is prohibited for them and it is not valid from them. Upon them is making up (the fast) after Ramadan.
If the pregnant or nursing woman fears for her self or child, she breaks fast and makes up. On the authority of Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said <<Sit, I will tell you about the fast or (he said) fasting. Verily, Allah, Mighty and Glorious, has removed half the prayer off of the traveler, and the fast or (he said) fasting off of the traveler, pregnant woman, and nursing woman>> (Ibn Majah 1667)
During their travel and their temporary residence for less than for days, it is allowed for them to break fast and make that up after Ramadan.
(Allah) Exalted said: ﴾And whoever is sick or on a journey, then(he must fast) a period of other days. Allah wants ease for you and does not want hardship for you﴿ [Al-Baqarah: 185].
