Muslim- fasting problems?

My mom has seriously bad migraines and is fasting because its Ramadan. It's so bad she has to stay in bed. I'm wondering if its mandatory for her to fast?

Update:

And by the way, the same thing happens when she tries to make up for the fast. So there will be no point in breaking the fast and making up for it again

    First of all, i hope that your mother will be in a better health...amen.

    secondly, if she can't fast during ramdan or even out ramdan, then she should feed one poor person for every day of ramdan.

    my grandmother was so sick before 3 years and she couldn't fast ramdan....we asked sheikh and he gave us the answer above.

    may Allah reward you for your concerning about your mother...amen

    Even i have migraine , migraines are horrible head ache ,she is forgiven ,, by Allah SWT ..... Migraine is severe headache none can even imagines, sometimes it stays for more than 10-20 hours .. so it is forgiven to her ...

    But i am fasting ,, when i get migraine green signal then i will not fast .. cannot handle it .. But she can fast after Ramadan month also which is left fast if she is healthy ...

    Allah SWT help your mother ...and Peace and Happiness to you n ur family ...

    Try to avoid foods which is allergic ,, like migraines may get allergic to climate and some water based foods ... and also must avoid refrigerator foods....

    Ramadan Mubarak , Assalmvalyekum ... @MUSLIMAH is also verymuch right , if she cannot fast , you must give everyday food for one poor .... do this ...

    You live in a freaking free country!!! Of course it is not mandatory!

    She puts restrictions on herself.

    Maybe you should break the cycle and learn to think on your own.
