A sick person whose illness prevents him from fasting, where he can fast if he takes, must he take medicine to fast or not?

In the name of Allah, if he was able to fast and did not worsen the illness or slow recovery from it, and the medicine was taken at night, then he must fast, with no unbearable hardship. Allah knows best.

In light of what the world is witnessing from the spread of the Corona pandemic, we would like to ask for the opinion of our blessed authority: what is the ruling of fasting if one is afraid of getting the disease if he fasts?
Answer
In the name of Allah, if he knew that his fasting leads him to get the deadly disease (corona), he must break his fast. However, we came to know from the findings of specialist doctors that there is no relationship between fasting and the disease and it is narrated by all the Muslims that the prophet (PBUH&HF) said "Fast and you will be healthy". Let us take advantage of this honorable month of fasting to prevent all diseases, especially this wicked disease. May Allah Almighty reward all the people, especially the believers. Allah knows best.
