When does obedience to other than Allah in prohibiting what Allah has permitted become kufr (disbelief), and does this include one who obeys the Taghut (tyrant) out of fear of him in abandoning the fast of Ramadan, and does Allah’s saying cover him: {And indeed, the devils inspire their allies to argue with you. And if you obey them, you are indeed polytheists}?

Whoever breaks their fast in Ramadan out of fear of the authorities, while believing in the obligation of fasting, is not a disbeliever. And whoever is able to emigrate from those lands should emigrate to preserve their religion. As for those who are unable to emigrate, they must fulfill what they are capable of from the rulings and obligations of Islamic law. It is not permissible for these people to break their fast in Ramadan unless they are subjected to a genuine compulsion that is recognized by Islamic law. In such a case, eating or drinking should be limited to what is necessary to repel the compulsion from themselves. If they eat or drink under compulsion, their fast is not invalidated thereby. And it is obligatory for them to resume abstaining once the compulsion is removed from them.
