Making up the days she fasted for post-natal bleeding and breastfeeding

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We have received many questions, but as the Shaykh indicated, we will read from the questions those that relate to the lesson. This questioner says: A woman broke her fast for twenty days in Ramadan due to post-natal bleeding, and she has been unable to make up that fast until now due to breastfeeding. Perhaps she will fast some of those days now and make up the rest after Ramadan. What should she do? And does she owe anything?

Answer:
As long as the excuse continues—the excuse for which she broke her fast—she should continue to break her fast and make it up later, even after Ramadan. Allah the Exalted has granted her a dispensation to break her fast due to the excuse, and since the excuse is still with her, the dispensation remains, and praise be to Allah. She should postpone the making up of the fasts until she is able to do so, and she owes nothing else. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
