I did my BMI and it showed that I am  underweight for my age. The fast here is about 19 hours and when I am  fasting I feel lazy all day and not able to do any kind of work. I am  just lying down in bed all day and only getting up for the fard prayers.  I was just wondering that if I don\u2019t keep the fast in this month and  keep them all in December when the days are shorter, will that be  acceptable in Islam?<\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>The Shari\u2019ah has given us some  concessions in fasts. If we are sick we can leave the fasts to be made  up later when we are healthy. It is upon you and the doctors to decide  whether your condition allows fasting or not. If you believe that your  health condition will deteriorate because of fasting you can leave it  and make up the left over fasts later when you are able to fast. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2014-12-01<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6019\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am 24 years old  boy who is under-weight for my age.
