The questioner:
A pregnant woman broke her fast for three days in Ramadan due to bleeding she experienced. What is required of her?
The Shaykh:
She must make up the fasts. She is required to make them up. Bleeding due to what?
The questioner:
Bleeding.
The Shaykh:
Yes, bleeding. Bleeding does not invalidate the fast. As long as the bleeding is not by her choice and comes out without her choice, there is no blame on her and it does not invalidate the fast. What invalidates the fast is cupping and the extraction of a large amount of blood; that invalidates the fast. But bleeding from a wound, from the private parts, or from an internal vessel, that does not invalidate the fast. Yes.
The questioner:
He says she is pregnant, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
A pregnant woman, as long as the pregnancy is present in her, it does not invalidate the fast. It does not invalidate it. The bleeding and the pregnancy are present and remain, so it does not invalidate the fast and it is not considered post-natal bleeding or menstruation. Yes.
