Have Anaemia: Should I Fast or Not?
Respected scholars, As-salamu `alaykum. I am a 16-year-old girl and, al-hamdu llilah, I have been fasting in Ramadan so far. The problem is that I have anemia and my doctor has advised me not to fast since I will not be getting adequate nutrients. I have not felt any weakness during fasting, and I think that I am too young to use such an excuse not to fast. Should I continue fasting or should I listen to my doctor? Jazakum Allahu khayran.
