Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: A pregnant woman was ordered by her doctor to break her fast during the month of Ramadan. He asks: What is obligatory for her? Is it only making up the fasts?
Answer:
If she breaks her fast out of fear for her own health, she only has to make up the fasts. However, if she breaks her fast out of fear for her pregnancy, and she is unable to fast but the pregnancy would be harmed, she breaks her fast and makes up the fasts, and along with making them up, she feeds [the poor]. Yes.
