Question
Who is permitted to eat in measurements on Yom Kippur?
Answer
On Yom Kippur, it is forbidden by Torah law to eat 'less than a measurement', but a sick person for whom fasting would worsen their illness and pose a danger is permitted to eat in measurements. Similarly, anyone experiencing severe weakness and suffering from dizziness, or seeing black spots, is permitted to drink in measurements.
