Q: Is it advisable for a person with a single kidney to fast in the month of Ramzan? I take Blopress daily for blood pressure.

A:A person with a single kidney, which is normal can do everything that a person with 2 kidneys can. So fasting in the month of Ramzan is fine with a single normal kidney.
