Fasting of the Nursing Mother
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q2: My daughter is not yet one month old, and the month of Ramadan has arrived while I am nursing her from my breast. Is it permissible for me to fast, or should I break my fast?
A2: If the nursing mother fears for herself if she nurses her child in Ramadan, or fears for her child if she fasts and does not nurse him, then it is permissible for her to break her fast, and she only has to make up the fasts.
Q3: I fasted four days of Ramadan, and then my menstruation came. After the days of menstruation passed, I became pure and started fasting, but some drops of blood came out and then stopped. When I purify myself and fast, they come out again throughout the month of Ramadan. What is the answer to this?
A3: If the situation is as you described, then the drops of blood that came out of you after the purity from the custom are not considered menstruation; because it is not continuous blood, so it
does not take the ruling of menstruation. It is obligatory for you to fast, pray, and perform wudu for the time of every prayer while it is present, like other women with irregular bleeding and those with constant incontinence, and your fasting on those days is valid. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
