Question
A person who had diarrhea and took medication against it, and now has headaches. Also, a woman who still has diarrhea today. What should they do during the fast?
Answer
Hello,
If diarrhea recurs during the fast, there is a risk of dehydration, and one should not fast.
Regarding headaches, if they are such that functioning is impossible, one is exempt from fasting.
