Dr. Zakir: There are in total according to me 13 categories of people who are exempted from fasting.
The first is if a person is a unbeliever, if he is a non-Muslim.
No. 2 if he or she is a minor.
No. 3 if the person is insane.
No. 4 if it’s a lady and she is menstruating, she will not fast.
No. 5 if she has her post natal bleeding, she is exempted from fasting.
No. 6 if she is pregnant, then she is exempted.
No. 7 if she is breastfeeding, she is exempted.
No. 8 if the person is ill or sick, he or she is exempted.
No. 9 if the person is disabled.
No. 10 that if the person is very elderly, has reached a very old age.
No. 11 if they person is traveling.
No. 12 if the person is talking part in Jihaad or a fight in the cause of Allah (swt).
And no. 13 under compulsion, under compulsion, if someone forces and if the person doesn’t fast, he or she is exempted. These are in short the 13 categories in which a person is exempted from fasting.
Yusuf Chambers: Excellent!
