3. Obligatory to break it when it is required to save a person’s life
This may not apply in our condition and our day to day lives (yet) but in other countries where the muslims are in a situation where the chance to save a muslim’s life could be an everyday matter this ruling is helpful. But if one finds himself/herself in such a situation then he/she would know what to do. So, if one was at a scenario where he/she had the choice of saving a person’s life or fasting then it is allowed for him to save the person’s life after breaking his fast. If the benefit outweighs the harm or the outcome is of greater benefit according to the Sharee’ah it is permissible. And in the end the person who breaks his fast for a reason, it is between him and Allah.

Woohoo, Another hyderabadi reppin’ al AMaghrib, Masha’allah, lol.
Masha’allah, great site. May Allah reward you for all your efforts and intentions. Insha’allah it’ll be a source of guidance for all. Ameen.
hey dude salam u alaikum i was wondering if you could tell me the hadith concerning the man who feeds a fasting person and what the rewards are.
I am a diabetic person taking insulin on day to day basis but I could not ignore the fasting in the month of Ramado’an. But, one day during my fasting, I found out that my blood glucose level has gone down to 3.4 mmol/lt which is highly dangerous low level in the body. I had no option but to break my fast in order to save myself from going into comma due to hypoglycaemia.
I have not incurred any penalty as per Islamic jurisprudence but I need to fast this lost day on other day after the month of Ramado’an while feeding a hungry person is of additional benefit.
