Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the stronger position regarding the fasting of a pregnant woman? Is it making up the fasts along with feeding, or just making up the fasts?
Answer:
There is no disagreement regarding the fasting of a pregnant woman such that one would say what is the stronger position. If a pregnant woman is able to fast, it is obligatory for her to fast. However, if she is unable to fast because there is harm to herself or harm to the fetus if she fasts, then she breaks her fast and makes up the fasts from other days. Praise be to Allah. Yes.
