Does the woman in postpartum bleeding make up Ramadan, or does she owe a ransom payment because she is nursing?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Does the woman in postpartum bleeding make up Ramadan, or does she owe a ransom payment? I have heard that she owes a ransom payment because she is nursing? May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : The woman in postpartum bleeding is exactly like the menstruating woman; she must make up the fast. However, if she has purified herself from the postpartum bleeding and wants to make up the fast, but there is harm to her or harm to her nursing child, she should wait until that harm is removed and then make up the fast. It is not permissible for every nursing woman to break her fast. If there is no harm to her and no detriment to her child, it is forbidden for her to break her fast.
