The ruling on a nursing woman breaking her fast in Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you and reward you with good. This person says, may Allah protect you: If fasting is difficult for a nursing woman, is it permissible for her to break her fast?
Answer:
Yes. If fasting is difficult for her because of nursing, since nursing weakens her, it is permissible for her to break her fast in order to nurse her child. She must make up the missed days from other days. She must feed one poor person for every day if her breaking the fast was for the sake of the infant. However, if she breaks her fast for her own sake, meaning she cannot endure fasting while nursing, then she only has to make up the days, and she owes no expiation. Yes.
