The Ruling on a Nursing Woman Breaking Her Fast in Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What about the nursing woman, Honorable Shaykh?
Answer:
The nursing woman is like the pregnant woman: if she fears for herself from fasting, she breaks her fast. If she also fears for her infant, she breaks her fast and makes up the fast in both cases. However, if she fears only for herself, making up the fast is sufficient. But if her fear is for her infant, not for herself—specifically, that the milk will dry up—then she makes up the fast and feeds one poor person for every day, as was reported from the Salaf (may Allah have mercy on them). Yes.
