# If one is sick and does not fast he need not make up his fast on a different day. <ref> Sh"t Yechave Daat 1:35 | # If one is sick and does not fast he need not make up his fast on a different day. <ref> Sh"t Yechave Daat 1:35, Kaf Hachaim 686:22, 550:4, Nitai Gavriel Purim 25:4. See Mishna Brurah 686:5 who writes that someone whose eye's hurt needs to make up the fast of Ester since it was never established for that day specifically. Maharsham 4:120 writes that it seems that it is only necessary to fast a makeup fast for the fast of Ester but since the Eliya Rabba 550:1 said that you need to make up all fast days we should follow that.</ref> | ||
