Q&A⚖️ Fiqh & Law

A sick person cannot fast because of his sickness. However, he can fast if he takes medicine. Must he take medicine to fast or not?

In the name of Allah, he must fast on certain conditions: he is capable of fasting, fasting does not lead to increasing the sickness, his medicine can be taken at night, and he can do that without fatigue (a condition which cannot be borne by a human). Allah knows best.
