What is the validity of the claim by some that the fatwa of Ibn 'Umar and Ibn 'Abbas regarding the pregnant and nursing woman is solely on the obligation of kaffarah (expiation)?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. We learned, or rather, we learned from our study of your teachings and our study of the madhhab (school of jurisprudence), the distinction regarding the breaking of the fast by the pregnant and nursing woman, in terms of qada' (making up a missed act of worship) and kaffarah (expiation), and in terms of their fear for themselves or for their children only. However, some shaykhs say that the fatwas of the Companions, such as Ibn 'Abbas and Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them), are solely on the obligation of kaffarah (expiation), and that there is no disagreement with them among the Companions, and that this is what aligns with the principles of Imam Ahmad. What is the distinction?

Answer:
This is his statement and this is his opinion. However, it is also reported from the Companions that if the woman's fear is only for the child, not for herself, then she must make up the fast and pay expiation. But if her fear is for herself, then making up the fast is sufficient. This is the position of the madhhab (school of jurisprudence), and it is also the position of some of the fatwas of the Companions. Did he encompass and know all the fatwas of the Companions and understand them, so that he would deny what he did not know? Yes.
