If the doctors say that he will never recover and should never fast till the rest of his life, he is exempted from fasting but he should feed a poor person for everyday missed, either by feeding him at the end of everyday or by gathering 30 people after Ramadan is over and giving them food at once. Each one needs about 1.5 kg of rice or he could cook food that is enough for them and invite them to eat.

If there is an organization that would feed these people and he trusts them, it is OK for him to send them the money.

One of the brothers is asking that he is diabetic on 3 insulin shots daily and has hypertension n is on medication for the kidney damage so how does he pay for the fasts in ramadhan? how many people has he to feed and how much per person? and if he doesnt get time to feed them personely can he send to an organization that feeds the poor for iftar to feed on his behalf? shukran

Is that is it permissible for me to just join my local mosque (which also follows the opinion that it is sufficient that the moon is seen anywhere in the world) even though I think this isn’t the correct way ?or should I stick to the opinion I hold to be right and look for the moon by myself?
