Which of the following categories of people is generally exempted from the obligation to fast during Ramadan, though required to make up missed days later?
ATravelers and the temporarily ill
BThose who simply dislike fasting
CHealthy adults
DChildren under seven
Explanation
– Travelers and those temporarily ill are generally exempted from the obligation to fast during Ramadan, though they are required to make up these missed days at a later, more convenient time.
– This concession reflects the broader Islamic principle of providing practical ease during circumstances of genuine hardship, while maintaining the underlying obligation once circumstances improve.
– For exams, remember that this differs from cases of permanent illness or old age, where Fidyah, feeding the poor, may be required instead of making up the fast.
