Is it permissible to give charity for the days the questioner missed in previous Ramadans due to illness and pregnancy, given that she is now pregnant and unable to make up for them?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If a woman breaks her fast in Ramadan due to illness and is unable to make up for it until the next Ramadan begins, she must make up the fast whenever she is able, and she must feed a poor person for each day due to the delay in making up the fast. If a woman breaks her fast in Ramadan this year due to pregnancy, she must make up the fast whenever she is able. There is no blame for delaying the make-up fast due to a valid excuse, and she is not required to offer a fidyah (expiatory feeding).
