The ruling on one who did not fast in Ramadan due to breastfeeding her child

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Yes. A woman says: Ramadan came and I was pregnant, and I was unable to fast. A lunar year passed, and I was unable to make up the fasts because the child was very young and dependent on me for breastfeeding. So is it only making up the fasts that is required of me, or making up the fasts along with expiation? May Allah reward you with good. What?

The Shaykh : She is only required to make up the fasts, and she is not sinful because she did not leave off making up the fasts while having the ability to do so; rather, she is excused. So whenever she is able, she makes them up without expiation.
