A pregnant woman is obligated to perform the five daily prayers, and it is permissible for her to enter the mosque as long as she adheres to the Shariah conditions. Everything that harms the fetus is forbidden for her. It is permissible for her to break her fast in if she fears harm to herself or her fetus; indeed, it may become obligatory for her if she fears death or severe harm. She must make up the missed days without offering a (expiatory payment).
