Question
I am a 56 year old female… I have 3 kaffarah fast to keep, it is of 3 different years.
I have a few health issues; listed below
High blood pressure
High insulin
High cholesterol
Underactive thyroid
*Disc degeneration
*Anterlisthesis of the spine
*Sciatica
*Nerve impingement
Because of the above(marked with Asterisk) I am in constant pain.
From the 3 kaffarahs I have completed 1 (fasted for 60 consecutive days).
After the 60 days I experienced weakness.
Since the time I completed the first kaffarah; my pain have also increased.
Due to all these conditions, can I pay for the kaffarah of the other 2 years or should I keep the fast of the other 2 kaffarah.
