Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. This questioner says: My wife fasted four days in Ramadan due to a valid religious excuse. After several months, she became pregnant and was unable to make up the fasts until the second Ramadan entered. At that time, she was in the final months of her pregnancy. After that, she entered the period of breastfeeding, and then the third Ramadan entered upon her. Before it, she made up the four days, but she did not make up the second month of Ramadan. What are the religious rulings regarding her?
Answer:
Making up the fasts is obligatory upon her in all cases. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Baqarah 2:184]. However, making up the fasts must be done immediately if one can hasten to do so. If that is not possible, she may delay it until the excuse is removed from her, even if several Ramadans pass. She may delay it as long as she is unable to make up the fasts. When the excuse is removed and she is able to make up the fasts, she must hasten to make them up, and she owes nothing other than making up the fasts. Yes.

So whoever among you is ill or on a journey [during them] - then an equal number of days [are to be made up].
