Q: I am a laborer employed at Mahshahr; I work under terrible conditions with
the weather being around 45 degrees Celsius and the nature of our work being
awfully heavy. Fasting under such circumstances is extremely difficult for me
such that it is taking its toll on my work and there's a chance I may be sacked
as a result. Please guide me as to what I ought to do.
A: Assuming fasting will cause you harm or its toleration be accompanied with
extreme difficulties, breaking one’s fast is permissible; otherwise, abandoning
one’s fasting due to the presence of only some (non-extreme) excuses is not
permissible.
