The Ruling on a Pregnant Woman Breaking Her Fast in Ramadan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Also, Honorable Shaykh, does a pregnant woman break her fast during the day in Ramadan out of consideration for her pregnancy? There was no danger, and no danger to her pregnancy has been established. Is this...

Answer:
We have previously stated, as the jurists have mentioned, that if a pregnant woman fears for herself from fasting, she breaks her fast and makes up that day, because she has become included among the sick. Likewise, if she fears for her pregnancy, if she fears for her pregnancy, then she also breaks her fast out of consideration for her pregnancy. She makes up that day and feeds one poor person for every day. This is what pertains to the menstruating woman and fasting. However, if fasting does not harm her and does not harm her pregnancy, then it is obligatory for her to fast like other women. Yes.
