Is it permissible for me to break my fast in Ramadan due to a psychological illness and medications that cause low blood pressure and an inability to fast? And is giving money to feed a poor person for each day sufficient? What should I do when I am unable to serve my family due to the illness?

It is not permissible to abandon fasting due to impatience with smoking or for preparing food, for fasting is an obligatory duty. Smoking is always forbidden. If the questioner is afflicted with an illness that prevents her from fasting, she may break her fast. If her recovery is expected, she must make up the missed days. If her recovery is not expected, she must feed the poor. The questioner must fear Allah, abandon smoking, and seek assistance from doctors to overcome the symptoms of addiction.
