Is it permissible for a pregnant woman in her seventh month to break her fast for the entire month of Ramadan due to severe exhaustion and fear for herself and her fetus? And is she only required to make up the missed days, or is expiation (kaffarah) also due?
If fasting is difficult for a pregnant woman, she is permitted to break her fast. If she breaks her fast out of fear for herself, or for herself and her child, then she only owes making up the missed fasts (qada'). If she breaks her fast solely out of fear for her child, then she owes making up the missed fasts (qada'), and her husband must feed one poor person for each day.
