Pearl of Wisdom

Imam 'Ali (AS) passed on a judgment between two people whom one was put in jail and the other killed, and he (AS) said, 'The killer is to be killed and the other is to be jailed until he dies with dismay the same way he jailed the prisoner and made him die in dismay.'

Question : #694

Category: Medical Issues

Subject:	Ramadan Fasting
Question:	Asalam Alaikum, When a person cannot fast in ramadan due to taking medication, do they have to make up for the fasts once they are off the medication?
Answer:	According to Ayatollah Khamenei's Fatwa, if you were not able to fast due to an illness, then you don't have to perform the qadha for those days. If it's for a regressive flu or similar, then qadha must be performed.
