The ruling on making up fasts for a woman who intentionally induced vomiting while pregnant
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A woman was in the period of pregnancy, in a month or during the day of the one who passed away, so when she was fasting, nausea would come to her, and she would not be at ease until she vomited in order to get relief. She did this in the fourth month of Ramadan, and then she said she did not know how many days it was. Is it permissible for her to make them up? And if she owes them but did not make them up, knowing that she does not know their number?
Answer:
Yes, she must make them up. If she intentionally induced vomiting, she must make them up, because it came in the hadith: So she must make them up because she intentionally emptied her stomach. As for the fact that she does not know the number of days, she estimates them. She estimates them by what is most likely in her opinion and makes them up. Praise be to Allah. She estimates them by what is most likely in her opinion and takes precautions. If, for example, she thinks it was four days, she makes it five, by way of precaution, and so on.
As for if she broke her fast, that is permissible for her. If she broke her fast as long as she is pregnant and it is difficult for her to fast, it is permissible for her to break her fast and make it up from other days. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Baqarah 2:185] So if she broke her fast and did not burden herself with fasting, that would be better for her, more in line with ease, and more beneficial regarding the hardship. She is not required to fast in this situation, so she should break her fast and make it up from other days. Yes.

Answer:
Yes, she must make them up. If she intentionally induced vomiting, she must make them up, because it came in the hadith:
Whoever vomits, let him make it up,
من قاء فليقضي،As for if she broke her fast, that is permissible for her. If she broke her fast as long as she is pregnant and it is difficult for her to fast, it is permissible for her to break her fast and make it up from other days. Allah the Exalted said:
and whoever is ill or on a journey - then an equal number of other days
وَمَن كَانَ مَرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِّنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ
