It is crucial to adhere to your prescribed medication regimen, particularly when managing a condition that could become contagious if left untreated. Skipping medication that has been prescribed for daily use is not advisable, even during periods of fasting.

However, as a Muslim observing the fast, it is your responsibility to explore alternative options that allow you to maintain both your religious obligations and your health. The best course of action is to consult your healthcare provider about the possibility of adjusting your medication schedule to accommodate your fasting hours.

Many medications can be taken outside of fasting times - either before dawn (suhoor) or after sunset (iftar). Your doctor may be able to suggest alternative dosing schedules or different formulations of your medication that are compatible with fasting.

If, after consultation with your healthcare provider, it is determined that you cannot safely alter your medication schedule or if your condition requires you to take medication during fasting hours, Islamic principles allow for exemptions from fasting for health reasons. In such cases, you may be advised to postpone your fast or, if the condition is chronic, to consider alternatives such as fidyah (feeding the poor) in lieu of fasting.

Remember, Islam emphasises the preservation of life and health. The Qur'an states: ""And do not kill yourselves. Surely, Allah is Most Merciful to you."" (4:29). Therefore, maintaining your health through proper medication should be prioritised, while making every effort to fulfil your religious obligations within the bounds of medical safety.
