Missing Fasting due to Illness

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by ShariahBoard.org

Assalamalaikum. Doctor has advised me not to fast because of my ill health. So as an alternative what is the solution for my problem in the month of Ramazan

الجواب وبالله التوفيق

Even after the doctor’s recommendation you can decide based on your own stamina if you can withstand fasting at all or not.

If by fasting your condition does not get worse then you should fast. Otherwise there is provision for you to not fast, however it is mandatory for you to perform qadha for the missed fasts as soon as you are able to fast again.
