The Ruling on Fasting for a Pregnant Woman
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Does a pregnant woman break her fast if she is able to fast?
Answer:
If it causes hardship to her child, she breaks her fast for the sake of the child, even if she herself is able to fast, but the child is harmed. The child needs food, needs food, and the child is nourished from her. So if she weakens, if fasting weakens her, the food supply to the child stops. So she breaks her fast, makes up the days she missed, and feeds one poor person for every day. Yes.
