What should one do if making up the fast is difficult for her due to her preoccupation?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Your Eminence the Shaykh, says: A woman gives birth constantly in the month of Ramadan, and it is difficult for her to make up the fasts because of her preoccupation with the children and household matters. What must she do?

Answer:
She must make up the fasts; it is obligatory for her to make them up according to her ability. Even if she gave birth in two or three years, all in Ramadan,
So fear Allah as much as you are ableفَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ
[al-Taghābun:16] she may postpone if she is unable, postponing until it becomes easy for her to make them up. And if she is able, she must make them up. But if she is occupied with the children and fasting is difficult for her, she may postpone until after Ramadan, when there are no children and no hardship.
So fear Allah as much as you are ableفَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ
[al-Taghābun:16] He (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:
and whoever is ill or on a journey - then an equal number of other daysوَمَنْ كَانَ مَرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَى سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ
[al-Baqarah:185] The nursing mother is like the sick person; the nursing mother is like the sick person, and she may postpone until she is able. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
