Question
I have been fasting almost all day and I feel very weak, and my husband has gone to pray. Is it permissible for me to break the fast?
Answer
The fast ends in less than an hour, so if you can go to sleep until the end of the fast, do so and you will complete the fast according to the law. If you need help with children or similar matters to complete the fast, call your husband to be with them, and thus you can fast according to the law.
However, if you feel dizzy even while sitting, or have blackouts in your vision and the like, drink immediately to avoid endangering yourself.
Good luck. Have a happy and blessed year
