I am  78 years old.<\/div>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>Thank  you for writing to us. The Shari&#8217;ah has explicitly mentioned that those  who are travelling or are ill are not obliged to fast. They are  however, obliged to complete the count later on when they are well. Now  the permanently ill persons can either just leave the fast and wait for  God&#8217;s mercy when they would be able to complete the left over fasts or,  in case when there is no hope for betterment, they can perform <em>ijtihaad<\/em>  and feed the poor as was initially legislated by the Qur&#8217;an. Thus they  can fee a destitute for ever missed fast if they do afford. The Almighty  says:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Believers,  fasting is prescribed for you, as it was prescribed for those before  you, so that you attain piety, for a few numbered days. Even so, whoever  among you is unwell or is on a journey, should complete the prescribed  number during other days. And for those (of these travelers or the  sick), who can afford, the penance for each missed fast is to feed a  destitute, but whoever does more good spontaneously, it shall be better  for him. And that you fast is even better for you, if you would  understand. (Q 2:183-4) <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Thought  this directive was later on repealed and the obligation to fast  remained intact for the sick and the traveler and the option to feed a  poor was taken back yet we can use this directive in our <em>ijtihaad<\/em>  for your case. You can therefore feed a poor for every fast you miss.  This too is if you afford. If you do not afford then you cannot be  expected to earn and give away amount or feed the poor. God knows our  health and financial state better than we do and He is Just and  Merciful.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-03-12<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6896\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We seek your guidance for the following situation.<\/p>\n<div>My  wife, 67 years old, had a coronary by-pass a few years back and now  recently has been diagnosed possibility of clot in her legs.
