Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh

رَوَى اِبْنُ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ مَا حَدُّ اَلْمَرَضِ اَلَّذِي يُفْطِرُ فِيهِ اَلصَّائِمُ وَ يَدَعُ اَلصَّلاَةَ مِنْ قِيَامٍ فَقَالَ « « بَلِ اَلْإِنْسٰانُ عَلىٰ نَفْسِهِ بَصِيرَةٌ » وَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُطِيقُهُ.

Ibn Bukayr narrated from Zurara, who said: "I asked Abu Abdullah (a.s) about the extent of illness that permits a fasting person to break their fast and to pray sitting instead of standing. Imam (a.s) said: 'Indeed, man is a witness over himself' (Surah Al-Qiyamah 75:14), and he knows best what he can bear."

وَ رَوَى جَمِيلُ بْنُ دَرَّاجٍ عَنِ اَلْوَلِيدِ بْنِ صَبِيحٍ قَالَ: حُمِمْتُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ يَوْماً فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَبَعَثَ إِلَيَّ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ بِقَصْعَةٍ فِيهَا خَلٌّ وَ زَيْتٌ وَ قَالَ لِي «أَفْطِرْ وَ صَلِّ وَ أَنْتَ قَاعِدٌ».

Jamil ibn Darraj narrated from Al-Walid ibn Sabih, who said: "I became feverish one day in Medina during the Month of Ramadan. Abu Abdullah (a.s) sent me a dish containing vinegar and oil and said to me: 'Break your fast and pray while sitting.'"

وَ رَوَى بَكْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ اَلْأَزْدِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلَهُ أَبِي وَ أَنَا أَسْمَعُ عَنْ حَدِّ اَلْمَرَضِ اَلَّذِي يَتْرُكُ اَلْإِنْسَانُ فِيهِ اَلصَّوْمَ قَالَ «إِذَا لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ يَتَسَحَّرَ ».

Bakr ibn Muhammad al-Azdi narrated from Abu Abdullah (a.s): "My father asked him while I was listening about the extent of illness that permits a person to leave fasting. Imam (a.s) said: 'When they are unable to take suhoor (the pre-dawn meal).'"

وَ رَوَى سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «اِشْتَكَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهَا عَيْنَهَا فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَأَمَرَهَا رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ أَنْ تُفْطِرَ وَ قَالَ «عَشَاءُ اَللَّيْلِ لِعَيْنَيْكِ رَدِيٌّ».

Sulayman ibn Amr narrated from Abu Abdullah (a.s), who said: "Umm Salama (may Allah (swt) be pleased with her) complained of an issue with her eye during the Month of Ramadan. The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) instructed her to break her fast and said: 'The nourishment of the night is restorative for your eyes.'"

وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «اَلصَّائِمُ إِذَا خَافَ عَلَى عَيْنَيْهِ مِنَ اَلرَّمَدِ أَفْطَرَ.

In the narration of Hariz from Abu Abdullah (a.s), he said: "A fasting person, if they fear harm to their eyes due to an eye infection, may break their fast."

وَ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «كُلُّ مَا أَضَرَّ بِهِ اَلصَّوْمُ فَالْإِفْطَارُ لَهُ وَاجِبٌ».

Imam (a.s) said: "Anything that harms a person due to fasting makes breaking the fast obligatory for them."
