Fasting for a Sick Person on the Tenth of Tevet
Question
Hello,
I would like to ask if I have not been feeling well during the week with severe pains (without a clear reason), am I prohibited from fasting because of this on the Tenth of Tevet?
Answer
Hello,
It depends if the pains were localized in a specific area - then you should fast.
If there was general weakness or severe pain that weakened the entire body - then you should not fast.
