A Pregnant Woman Breaking Her Fast in Ramadan and Making It Up
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is Abu Samir asking: What is the ruling for a pregnant woman? Is she permitted to break her fast during the blessed month of Ramadan and make it up afterwards?
Answer:
Yes, if fasting harms her because of the pregnancy, she breaks her fast and makes it up, and she owes nothing. However, if she is able to fast but it harms her pregnancy—fasting harms her pregnancy—then she breaks her fast for the sake of the pregnancy, and she must make up the fasts and feed one poor person for every day. Yes.
