The ruling on a pregnant woman breaking her fast for the safety of the fetus
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A pregnant woman was afflicted with bleeding and was admitted to the hospital, where she was given an IV drip for the safety of the fetus. She broke her fast for three days. What is required of her?
Answer:
She is required to make up the fasts, because she broke them for the sake of the child, for the sake of the pregnancy. It is permissible for a pregnant woman to break her fast if fasting poses harm to her pregnancy; she may break her fast and make up the days she missed. Some scholars say that she owes an expiation if she breaks her fast for the sake of someone else, such as the pregnancy or breastfeeding, while she herself is healthy and capable of fasting. They say she must feed a poor person in addition to making up the fasts. However, the correct view, if Allah wills, is that she owes nothing but making up the fasts. Yes. And Allah the Exalted knows best.
