Question
I had large kidney stones in the ureter for 3 years and underwent laser surgery in the month of Adar. I need to drink a lot of water every day, 3 liters. Am I allowed to fast? And for how long, for all the years?
Answer
Hello,
According to the instructions of the Gaon, Rabbi Avraham Fried, shlita
Do not fast on Tisha B'Av. For Yom Kippur, ask again.
