I caught a severe flu with a high fever and a painful bronchial cough, which caused me to miss three days of fasting, and possibly more.\\n\\nI am eager to return to fasting, but I am concerned about a relapse. I have read that it is permissible to break the fast if one fears the illness will worsen or recovery will be delayed.\\n\\nIs it better to resume fasting as soon as the fever and painful symptoms subside, or is it permissible to take one additional recovery day to stay hydrated and ensure that my lungs and throat have fully healed? I want to make the right decision between fulfilling my religious obligation and taking care of my health.\\n\"}]}","answer":"{\"ops\":[{\"insert\":\"It ultimately comes down to your own personal belief about your health. If you think you've recovered from your illness, then you should resume fasting. If you're unsure, then resume the fast, and if it turns out that your body has not recovered enough to resume fasting, you should break your fast and make it up at a later date.\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fde0b76658b4c232774","tag":"Fasting: Ramadan","count":97},{"_id":"668d9ff20b76658b4c2329ef","tag":"Fasting: Missed & Make-Up","count":42},{"_id":"68deade683f5f909c75b44d1","tag":"Health: Other","count":3}],"createdOn":"2026-02-27T17:37:39.047Z"}
