The question

Is it permissible for someone who works in oil well drilling on a 14-day work, 14-day rest schedule, where the first seven days are strenuous daytime work from 6 AM to 6 PM, to postpone fasting the first seven days of Ramadan until after Ramadan due to continuous hardship and fatigue?

The answer

If a fasting person is compelled to undertake strenuous work, having intended to fast from the night, and then finds an extraordinary hardship, he should break his fast to avert the necessity, then abstain for the remainder of the day and make up for it later. If he does not experience unusual hardship, he is obligated to complete his fast.
