Question:
The questioner says: I vowed that if Allah granted me a child, I would fast one day for each month of my pregnancy until I gave birth. However, I fell ill in the first month and was unable to fast. I am now in the third month, so what is required of me?
Answer:
She is required to make up the day she vowed to fast but did not fast. She must make it up as a missed fast and feed one poor person for the delay. Yes, she is required to make up the day she vowed from that month which she was unable to fast, and she must expiate a broken oath by feeding ten poor people for the delay.
