Muslims who are unwell and undergoing treatment in hospital must follow the advice and directives from medical experts. This is to ensure that one’s medical condition is observed appropriately, in order to ease the path to full recovery.

This is in accordance with the religious guidance that gives concession to those who are unwell by allowing them to fast on other days after Ramadan. Allah s.w.t. says in the Quran in Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 184: “For those among you who are sick, or on a journey, then replace your fast on other days.”
