The pregnant or nursing woman who breaks her fast in Ramadan: Some scholars say: It is obligatory for them to make up the fast, not to pay the fidyah. What is your opinion? And is the saying of Allah the Exalted:

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, I have two questions, excuse me. The first question is regarding the pregnant and nursing woman. Some say: It is obligatory for them to make up the fast, not to pay the fidyah, based on the hadith of Anas al-Ka’bi:
Indeed, Allah has made it easy for the traveler by half of the prayer, and He has made it easy for the pregnant and nursing woman by fasting. إن الله وضع للمسافر شطر الصلاة ووضع للحامل والمرضع الصوم
.
The questioner: And they say: The verse is not abrogated:
And upon those who are able [to fast, but with hardship] - a ransom وَعَلَى الَّذِينَ يُطِيقُونَهُ فِدْيَةٌ
[Al-Baqarah 2:184]
.

The Shaykh : It is not abrogated. Well, if it is not abrogated.

The questioner : Excuse me, rather they say: It is abrogated?

The Shaykh : They say: The verse is abrogated. What abrogated it?

The questioner : His saying, Blessed and Exalted is He:
So whoever sights [the new moon of] the month, let him fast it فَمَنْ شَهِدَ مِنْكُمُ الشَّهْرَ فَلْيَصُمْهُ
[Al-Baqarah 2:185]
.

The Shaykh : Why were those who were given the choice before this not seeing the month?

The questioner : Rather, they saw it.

The Shaykh : So where is the abrogation?

The questioner : Some of them fasted and some of them paid the fidyah.

The Shaykh : This is it. There is no abrogation, there is no contradiction between this and that, especially if we remember the interpretation of the Interpreter of the Qur’an, Ibn Abbas, where he argues with the verse that it includes the pregnant and nursing woman andThe Shaykh : the elderly, and that this is not abrogated.
We conclude with the following result: The claim of abrogation has no evidence for it.
Second: The generality of the verse includes these people.
Third: This is what the Interpreter of the Qur’an held.

The questioner : Is their argument in the hadith
Indeed, Allah has made it easy for the traveler by half of the prayer, and He has made it easy for the pregnant and nursing woman by fasting. إن الله وضع للمسافر شطر الصلاة ووضع للحامل والمرضع الصوم
? They say: The traveler makes up the fast, so the pregnant and nursing woman must make up the fast because they came in one hadith?

The Shaykh : No, this is as they say: The indication of conjunction is weak.

The questioner : Weak. Yes, yes. May Allah reward you with good.
