Question: I am a soldier and Ramadhaan has arrived, so is it permissible for me to refrain from fasting, bearing in mind that my [military] duties do not help me when I’m fasting (i.e. he experiences much hardship)?
Response: It is not permissible for you to refrain from fasting in Ramadhaan whilst you are legally responsible [for your actions according to the Sharee’ah] to fast, unless you are travelling or are sick such that your illness does not allow you to fast, as Allaah (Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala) says:
And Allaah (Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala) also says:
And Allaah (Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala) also says:
And with Allaah lies all the success, and may Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his family and his companions.
