QUESTION: My father goes to work at night and comes back in the afternoon every other day. He gets ill if he fasts because of his work. During Ramadan, he fasts some days but doesn’t fast the whole month. Neither he makes it up after Ramadan. So my question is, can I give him water or food when he isn’t fasting if he asks me to or will I be sinful?
