Taking Medicine while Fasting in Ramadan

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.

 Fasting during the month of Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam, which is of paramount significance. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Islam is built upon five pillars: testifying that there is no god except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, performing Prayer, paying the zakah, making the pilgrimage to the Sacred House (Hajj), and fasting the month of Ramadan.” (Reported by Al-Bukhari and Muslim)

Allah says, (…eat and drink until the white thread of dawn appears from the black thread…) (Al-Baqarah 2: 187); accordingly, we must abstain from all food or drink from the beginning of dawn (fajr) until sundown. To do so, according to the consensus of scholars, is an essential condition for the validity of fast. Therefore, if you have deliberately taken the medicine after Adhan of fajr, then you have invalidated the fast, and you should make up for the same after Ramadan. If, however, you did so unknowingly, then your fast is still considered as valid. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Allah has forgiven my Ummah of their sins borne of ignorance and forgetfulness as well as due to coercion.” (Reported by Ibn Majah and Al-Hakim)

 
Having said this, however, I must comfort you by saying: Being sick, you need not worry about your action; for you certainly belong to the category of those who are exempt from fasting, especially if you are suffering from a condition that requires taking of medications during the day. You only need to make up for the fasts you have missed at a later time when you completely recover. If, however, you do not hope to recover, then you only need to offer fidyah (expiatory compensation), which consists of feeding a poor person for each day of fast you have missed....
 May Allah accept urs nd our good deeds...Aameen..
