Question

A woman who feels dizzy during the fast, if she lies in bed she can get through the fast, should she fast since she is actually unable to function?

Answer

Hello,

If she is weak to the extent that she needs to lie in bed, she is considered 'ill' and is exempt from fasting. 

If she is healthy but finds it difficult to fast, she should rest and seek help so that she can complete the fast.
