Is it permissible to break the fast during the day in Ramadan, and how does one make up for it if they suffer from chronic illnesses such as high blood pressure, asthma, sleep apnea, and severe thirst, along with an inquiry about how to get rid of hearing strange voices and Qur'an during sleep?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Breaking the fast is not permissible unless fasting becomes unbearably difficult, or a trustworthy doctor states that fasting would worsen the illness or delay recovery. Mere thirst does not permit breaking the fast unless harm is feared. As for what is heard in sleep, it is advisable to be diligent in maintaining ritual purity, reciting the remembrances before sleep, and performing Ruqyah (Islamic incantation).
