Not
fasting in Ramadhaan due to exams
*Please appropriately reference
this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question:
I am a student in my third year at secondary school. The end
of year exams are due to take place during Ramadhaan, inshaa.-Allaah.
As you know, during the days of the exams a student requires
full concentration and hard work, particularly since the exams
take place over consecutive days, one after the other. I find
that fasting requires some element of ease/rest and sleep.
So is it permissible for me not to fast during the exam days,
and then make up the fasts (which I missed) afterwards?
Response:
It is not permissible for you not to fast (during Ramadhaan)
for that which you have mentioned, rather it is haraam upon
you (to refrain from fasting) since that which you have mentioned
does not qualify/excuse you from fasting in Ramadhaan.
And
with Allaah lies all success, and may Allaah send prayers
and salutations upon our Prophet Muhammad (sal-Allaahu
`alayhe wa sallam)
and his family and his companions.
