Jun 3, 2015

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
There are a number of categories of healthy people and patients who are exempt from fasting. These include pre-pubertal children, or women during pregnancy, breastfeeding mothers; travelers) or people who are unable to fast (the chronically ill such as people with diabetes, severe hypertension, stomach ulcer, immune suppression etc.)
