The answer

If fasting does not cause a considerable harm, according to , then the questioner must fast and is not permitted to break it, while following the doctors' advice to alleviate the suffering. However, if trustworthy doctors determine that fasting would harm him, then he is permitted to break it and must make up for it later, based on the Almighty's saying: "But whoever among you is ill or on a journey [during them] - then [he must fast] an equal number of other days."
