Parents not allowing me to fast in Ramadhan

Asalamu’alaikum.

I need some advice please.

My parents are not allowing me to fast, I only kept the first fast. They think that I am too thin and I usually get headaches a lot when fasting and fatigue. I know they are doing this because they are worried about me.

I’ve asked them if I could fast and they said no. It sometimes turns into an argument because I feel so guilty about not fasting and can’t accept when they say no.

My mother can’t fast. I was going to go against her and fast but the problem is that if she knows I’m fasting then she doesn’t eat as well for the whole day. So I feel terrible about that as well.

Please tell me what do..

In Islam, do we obey our parents in this regard or go against them?

Jazak’allah khair.

Ramadhan Mubarak to everyone

I don't know about Islam, but other religions have dispensations on these things when your health is threatened
