Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: His wife did not fast the month of Ramadan because she was pregnant. He asks: What is obligatory for her? Is it making up the fasts or feeding the poor?
Answer:
If she fears for her own health, she only has to make up the fasts. If she fears only for the pregnancy, and she is not strong but fears for the pregnancy, and the doctors told her not to fast because the pregnancy would be harmed, then she breaks her fast, makes up the fasts, and feeds one poor person for every day.
