The Ruling on a Pregnant Woman Breaking Her Fast in Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, a few years ago I was pregnant and I wanted to break my fast out of fear for myself and the fetus. Some people told me that feeding people would suffice as making up for those days. I believed there was a scholarly disagreement on this issue, so I fed people but did not make up the fast. Do I owe anything now?
Answer:
Yes, the fast is still owed by you; the fast is still owed by you. If you broke your fast out of fear for the fetus, two things are obligatory for you: first, making up the day you broke your fast, and second, feeding one poor person for every day. You have performed one of them, and the other remains, which is making up the day. Yes.
