If breaking the Sawm was without

Q: I am a certain kind of cancer patient. I did not observe Sawm (fast) during the last month of Ramadan on account of being severely sick. I received medical treatment in King Faysal specialized hospital and I am now cured. My question is: may I observe Sawm or not?


A: You should hasten to make up for the Sawm you missed during last Ramadan after Allah has cured you of disease. In this regard, Allah (Exalted be He) said: ...but if any of you is ill or on a journey, the same number (should be made up) from other days. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
