Information for "MuwataMalik-017-001-35523"

Yahya said that he heard Malik say; What I have heard from the people of knowledge is that if a man succumbs to an illness which makes fasting very difficult for him and exhausts him and wears him out; he can break his fast. This is the same as with a sick man in the prayer; who finds standing to be too difficult and exhausting; and Allah knows better than the slave that it is an excuse for him and that it really cannot be described. If the man is in such a condition he prays sitting; and the deen of Allah is ease. Allah has permitted a traveller to break the fast when travelling; and he has more strength for fasting than a sick man. Allah; the Exalted; says in His book; Whoever among you is ill or on a journey must fast a number of other days; and Allah has thus permitted a traveller to break his fast when on a journey; and he is more capable of fasting than a sick man.
