Islam and the Quran

Getting weak from thirst

Question: What should we do if we get too weak from thirst while fasting in summer days?

Allah the Almighty only gives permission to travelers and sick people for breaking/postponing their fasting duties. Breaking the fast during the day for some other reasons is out of the question for a Muslim. One can only break the fast if he/she gets sick in the day from hunger, thirst, hot weather or else. In this situation, the person has to fast another day after Ramadan in order to fulfill his/her duty.
