Feels
extremely thirsty and exhausted at work whilst fasting during
Ramadhaan
*Please appropriately reference

Question:
In our village there is a man who works in a bakery baking
bread. He is a man who prays and fasts (the month of) Ramadhaan,
and all Praise is for Allaah (alone), however, he asked me
whether it was permissible for him not to fast during Ramadhaan,
keeping in mind that he works close to the raging fire whilst
baking bread all day long whilst he is fasting. Because of
this, he feels extremely thirsty and exhausted at work. So
I anticipate from yourselves to favour me with a clear response
regarding this, and may Allaah reward you all, inshaa.-Allaah.
Response:
It is not permissible for this man not to fast (during Ramadhaan),
rather it is obligatory upon him to fast. The fact that he
bakes during the day in Ramadhaan is not a (acceptable) reason
not to fast. (So) it is upon him to work according to his
ability.
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.
