Amidst the current Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic that has overwhelmed the world, with many Muslims becoming infected and admitted to hospitals, and with Ramadan at our doorstep, it is the need of the hour to learn about contemporary medical-related issues and how they affect the fast. This is not just something crucial for Muslim patients to learn, but also for all medical and health professionals who deal with Muslim patients on a regular basis.
