Summary
Frontline Covid-19 workers should make the intention and resolve to fast. They are permitted to break the fast if they cannot continue through the day because of heavy duties, or if they fear their focus and ability to perform their work would be affected. Those who do not fast must observe proper manners, such as not eating in public places and not overindulging, and must make up the missed fasts before the next Ramadan.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Petugas barisan hadapan (Frontliner) Covid-19 hendaklah berniat puasa dan berazam untuk berpuasa
