The timing is very difficult, and we had no choice but to shovel snow during fasting hours. Leaving it until after ifṭār, when it piles up over two feet, would make it extremely difficult to remove. We live in a remote area and must clear a large amount of snow, otherwise we cannot access the main road and would become stuck. My husband is considering breaking his fast today because he is already feeling dehydrated and it is only 8 a.m., and there is still much more snow to remove while the storm continues. Would this situation fall under “extreme hardship” and be a valid reason to break the fast?\\n\"}]}","answer":"{\"ops\":[{\"insert\":\"Yes.\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fde0b76658b4c232774","tag":"Fasting: Ramadan","count":97}],"createdOn":"2026-02-26T15:31:12.597Z"}
