Fasting Ramadan is a pillar of Islam, and it is not permissible to break the fast except for a legitimate excuse, such as illness or travel. Trials and tribulations are not an excuse for breaking the fast; rather, they should be met with increased adherence to obedience to Allah and greater diligence in His worship, because obedience to Allah brings good and repels evil. Therefore, Muslims must fast and seek Allah's help to overcome what has befallen them, and it is not permissible for anyone to break the fast without a legitimate excuse.
