â–º They are not compelled to fast, they exempted from fasting. â–º The sick, weak, old [men and women], travelers, pregnant and menstruating women are all exempted from fasting during Ramadan. â–º They may make up the lost days later when they can. â–º Fasting is only for sane, healthy and able-bodied Muslims. Those can fast.

7 :
Any such patient 'for whom fasting can be hazard for his life is excused from fasting. If he can afford, he should give charity equal to the cost of two meals of one person (one for morning and second for breaking the fast). He then gets the reward of fasting of one day. My wife is unable to fast because of her poor health. So every year she sends enough money to her neice in Pakistan to charity on her behalf to poor people. She sends money equal to feed twice a day for 30 days to poor people. In USA we can't find poor Muslim people to feed them daily meals. There are millions of poor people in Pakistan. So money she sends is used to feed really the poor people and it meets the requirement of getting reward of fasting.

Aslamo Alekom, It dpends according to the control of the diseases. There are innumerable Ahaadeeth of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam which illustrate great virtue and blessing for the fasting person. Sahl Ibne Sa'd radhiyallahu anhu narrates from our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam that he said, "Verily! In Jannah, there is a door called ‘Ar Rayyaan’, through which will enter the fasting people on the Day of Judgement. No one will enter through this door besides them. It will be announced, 'Where are the fasting people?' They will stand (and enter). No one will enter besides them. Once they will enter, the door will be locked so no one can enter through it (after them)." (Bukhaari, Muslim) Aboo Hurayrah radhiyallahu anhu reports from our beloved Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam, that he said, 'Allah says, 'Every deed of Ibne Aadam (son of Aadam) is for him, except for fast. Verily, fasting is for me, and I shall (personally) apportion out the reward for it."' It is further said, "For a fasting person, there are two pleasures, which please him. When he eats upon completing the fast, he becomes happy, and when he will meet his Lord he will be pleased due to his fast." (Bukhaari) Aboo Hurayrah radhiyallahu anhu narrates from our beloved Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam that he said, "One who keeps the fast of Ramadhaan with Imaan (faith) and longing for reward, all his previous sins are forgiven."
