The ruling on the fasting of a pregnant woman who gave birth via cesarean section before breaking the fast

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Praise be to Allah. If a pregnant woman gives birth via cesarean section at the end of the day, before breaking the fast, is the day counted for her, or does she have to make it up? Yes. A pregnant woman gave birth via cesarean section at the end of a day in Ramadan, and she was fasting. Is this day counted for her, or…?

Answer:
If blood came from the vagina as a result of that, this is post-natal bleeding. Yes. It invalidates the fast. But if no blood came from the vagina, then this is a surgical operation. Yes. It does not affect the fast, just as if a person underwent an operation on one of his limbs and bled from the operation, that does not harm it. His fast is valid. Yes.
