Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: His wife was pregnant and did not fast the month of Ramadan. Then, after that, she sat and breastfed him for two years. He says she left fasting for three years. Does she owe an expiation for that?

Answer:
Only making up the fast, because she is excused.
