Concession of breaking Sawm in Ramadan for a student during exams


380

Q 2: I am a student in the third grade of my secondary school. The final exams will be held in Ramadan, by Allah's permission. As you know, during exam days students need energy and they exert more effort because exams are taken on a daily basis. On the other hand, I think that Sawm (Fast) requires comfort and sleep. Is it then permissible for me to break my Sawm during exam days and make up for these days later?


A: Breaking Sawm is not permissible for the reason you mentioned. Doing so is Haram (prohibited) because such a reason is not included in the excuses that allow the breaking of Sawm in Ramadan.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
