Fasting is obligatory for every accountable and capable Muslim. Breaking the fast is not permissible except for a legitimate excuse, such as travel, illness, incapacity, menstruation, or postpartum bleeding. Exercise is not considered a valid excuse to break the fast, and it can be postponed until night. Fasting has many benefits for the soul and body, and it has been reported: "Fast, and you will be healthy."
