Question: I have a significant prolapsed rectum due to which I only pass 50% of my waste which on a normal day makes me ill and I struggle with severe ibs which has multi causes such as unbearable stomach pain constipation back aches I struggle to fast and manage to keep half of my fasts each Ramadhฤn and struggle making up the rest My question is am I able to give fidya for my fasts or do I need to make them up ? As an Alimah I know I need to keep them up as this is the one of the reasons, Iโve been keeping them all these years but currently keeping them has made my condition worse Iโm currently also waiting for surgery for my condition.ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย

Answer
In response to your inquiry, considering your present health condition, if fasting is exacerbating your health issues and causing substantial difficulty, it is permissible for you to abstain from fasting during Ramadhฤn.[1]
It is important to note that fidya is permissible for individuals who have a long-term or terminal illness with no reasonable hope of recovery, as compensation for missed fasts.[2]
Given that your situation involves a condition for which you are awaiting surgery, and your chance of recovery is not certain, you cannot consider paying fidya at this stage. Rather, the recommended course of action would be to postpone the fasts until you are sufficiently recovered to complete them later.[3]
If you paid fidya for missed fasts due to an expectation of no recovery, but recovery occurs after surgery, the fidya given will be treated as sadaqah (charity). You will still be required to perform qadha (make-up) fasts for the missed days.[4] On the other hand, if your condition remains the same or worsens after surgery and no hope of recovery, then you may continue paying fidya in place of fasting.
[Allฤh Knows Best]
