Question

I underwent a kidney stone crushing surgery about 3 weeks ago. The stones were likely due to lack of drinking. Should I fast on the Fast of Esther?

Answer

Hello,

I do not know what the doctors have instructed you.

However, if the doctor has said you need to drink to complete the process, you must refrain from fasting.

Also, if you are still weak from the treatment.

But if you are healthy and there are no instructions from the doctors, you should fast.
