Question
Can a 14-year-old boy who vomited during the fast and is not feeling well break the fast?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
If he has weakened and reached the state of 'illness', he is exempt from continuing the fast.
The definition of 'illness' is that he suffers in his entire body or needs to lie in bed due to weakness.
