Ramadan 2025: Full list of people exempted from fasting

  • Ramadan fasting is compulsory for all Muslims who are healthy and old enough to observe it when it comes
  • However, the Quran exempted two people from fasting, according to AbdulRafiu Busari, an Islamic scholar who spoke with Legit.ng in an exclusive interview
  • The Islamic scholar noted that the exempted persons are to repay their fasting once they regain their feat because Ramadan is a debt for every Muslim who witnessed it

Ramadan fasting is compulsory for all Muslims across the world. This is a moment when the Muslims exercise holiness and restrain from ungodly doing. However, the Ramadan fasting is not compulsory for two categories of people.

According to AbdulRafiu Busari, an Islamic scholar in an interview with Legit.ng, these two people were mentioned by the Quran, while the Shari’ah (Islamic laws) mentioned several others who may not fast during Ramadan. However, these categories of people were to repay their fasting debt after Ramadan, when they get relief.
