The blood that bleeds from the gum
Q: My father suffered from a disease in his throat and neck during the last ten days of Ramadan 1400 A.H. His throat kept bleeding while he continued fasting even though he was greatly affected by this bleeding. However, now he doubts the validity of his Sawm (fasting) because of the bleeding that occurred. Since then he has been afflicted with another disease that has caused him to become bedridden. He wanted me to ask if he is required to make up for these days of bleeding or not. Moreover, if he is required to make up for these days, can I do them on his behalf as he has become too old and is now suffering from cancer in the bottom of his back and in his left leg? In addition, he suffers from severe diabetes.
A: If the reality is as you mentioned, then his Sawm is valid and he is not required to make up for those days.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
My father
