Fasting-Sawm - in Funerals (AlJanaa'iz) -Bukhari Hadith

Throughout the duration of the fast itself, Muslims will abstain from certain provisions that the Quran has otherwise allowed; namely eating, drinking and sexual intercourse.[Quran 2:187]

Fasting-Sawm -Bukhari Hadith
This is in addition to the standard obligation already observed by Muslims of avoiding that which is not permissible under Quranic or shari'a law (e.g. ignorant and indecent speech, arguing and fighting and lustful thoughts).

Fasting-Sawm -Bukhari Hadith
Without observing this standard obligation, sawm is rendered useless and is seen simply as an act of starvation. The fasting should be a motive to be more benevolent to the fellow-creatures.
Charity to the poor and needy in this month is one of the most rewardable worships.

Fasting-Sawm -Bukhari Hadith
If one is sick, nursing or travelling, one is considered exempt from fasting. Any fasts broken or missed due to sickness, nursing or traveling must be made up whenever the person is able before the next month of Ramadan.
According to the Quran, for all other cases, not fasting is only permitted when the act is potentially dangerous to one's health - for example, those who are sick, elderly, or on a journey, and women who are menstruating, pregnant,
or nursing are permitted to break the fast, but this must be made up by paying a fidyah which is essentially the iftaar and suhur for a fasting person who requires such financial help.

Fasting-Sawm -Bukhari Hadith
According to the Quran and the Sunnah, if someone cannot afford fasting due to illness or traveling they are permitted to suspend fasting and continue at a more opportune time or condition of health.
However, the question of those suffering a permanent disease has not been resolved. One view is that they can waive the obligation to fast if advised by a medical expert.

Furthermore, it is held that they can provide a poor person with a meal for each day of fasting waived. Nonetheless, such a delinquent person must be willing to fast when in health.

Fasting-Sawm -Bukhari Hadith
Muslim scholars have stated that observing the fast is forbidden for menstruating women. However, when a woman's period has ceased, she must bathe and continue fasting.
Any fasts broken or missed due to menstruation must be made up whenever she can before the next month of Ramadan.

Fasting-Sawm -Bukhari Hadith
Women must fast at times when not menstruating, as the Quran indicates that all religious duties are ordained for both men and women.

Fasting-Sawm -Bukhari Hadith
The reason for this is because the Quran refers to menstruation as "Say: It is a discomfort (Menstruation)" According to Nouman Ali Khan an Islamic speaker in the United States the reason for this prohibition
is because of the pain associated with it. A Muslim women may still do dhikr (remembrance of Allah) and make duaa (supplication to Allah) during this time.
