:قال الإمام أبو عبدالله جعفر بن محمّد الصادق، عليـهما الـسلام
مَن دَخَلَ فِي هَذَا ٱلـدِّيْنِ بِـٱلرِّجَالِ،
أَخْرَجَـهُ مِنْـهُ ٱلـرِّجَالُ كَـمَا أَدْخَلُوْهُ فِيْـهِ؛
مَن دَخَلَ فيْـهِ بِـٱلْـكِتَابِ وَ ٱلـسُّنَّةِ، زَاْلَتِ ٱلـجِبَالُ قَبْلَ أن يَزُوْلَ
“Whosoever enters this Religion (ha-dhāʾd-Dīn) because of people, will be made to leave it because of people — just as they were made to enter it because of them; but whosoever enters it because of the Book of God (al-Kitāb) and the Prophetic Way (as-Sun‧naħ), mountains shall pass-and-perish before they do (i.e., their conviction)!”
— al-ʾImām ʾAbū ʿAbd–Allah Jaʿfar bin Muḥam‧mad aṣ-Ṣādiq عَلَيْـهِمَا ٱلـسَّلَام (c. 81– c. 148 н / c. 700 – c. 765 ᴀᴅ)

Q1 - I have an anal fissure, it is a disease similar to piles. It makes me bleed while passing stool. The amount of blood varies sometimes. It isn't too much sometimes it is around half a glass. Can I fast with this condition?
A - Blood does not break the fast but if fasting is harmful for your health then you cannot fast.
