Question

Hello, Thank you for this opportunity. My wife struggles with fasts to the point of complete dysfunction. Is she required to fast on the 17th of Tammuz? She can take a day off from work on the fast day.

Answer

Hello and blessings,

According to the question, if she fasts, it will lead to weakness defined as illness, and she does not need to fast.

However, if by taking a day off from work she can fast normally without special weakness, she should do so.
