Question
Hello Rabbi, I currently have a throat infection, and the doctor has forbidden me to fast this week. Should I eat in portions on the Fast of Gedaliah, or can I eat normally?
Answer
Hello,
On all fasts except Yom Kippur, a sick person is completely exempt from fasting and does not need to eat in portions.
