Summary
The ruling cites Quranic verses stating that Allah does not burden anyone beyond their capacity and that there is no hardship in the religion. On the principle that obligations follow ability, it states that the fast of a person with bleeding gums in this situation is, God willing, not invalidated. The ruling does not give specific details on purification or prayer.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Semua nas di atas menzahirkan bahawa kita ditaklifkan mengikut kadar kemampuan yang kita miliki. Insya Allah tidak batal puasa.
