Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a woman, Shaykh Salih, who broke her fast for seven days of Ramadan during her menstrual period, and she did not make them up until the Ramadan that came in the following year. She was pregnant, so she broke her fast for three days while she was in the hospital receiving treatment. What must she do now?
Answer:
She must make up the fasts if she is able to do so; she makes them up even if it is after Ramadan. However, if the month of Ramadan arrives and she has not fasted the previous Ramadan, but she had an excuse, then she fasts the current Ramadan, and when it ends, she fasts the previous Ramadan according to her capacity, because she delayed it for an excuse. As for if she delayed it without an excuse until Ramadan came upon her, then she makes up the fasts and feeds one poor person for every day for the delay. Yes.
