Examinations are not an excuse to permit breaking the fast in , even if they are lengthy or if the student feels a hardship that they can endure. However, if the student cannot endure that hardship, it is permissible for them to break the fast, and they must make up for it later. Let the student know that obedience to Allah is among the causes of success, and disobedience to Him is among the causes of failure.
