Fasting is hard for us all, but for some people, it can be dangerous. But for a new Muslim, it's often difficult to decipher the advice one gets from the aunties in the masjid, one's Muslim friends, the imam, and other laymen on just how sick you need to be, and in what way, for your illness to excuse you from fasting. In this Ramadan Tips episode, Kaighla and Theresa discuss the myriad illnesses, both physical and mental, which can excuse someone from fasting, the importance of seeking sound medical advice from a medical professional, and offer encouragement and reminders of Allah's mercy.
