What is the expiation for a pregnant woman breaking her fast in Ramadan 2010, given that a sum of money was paid to one needy person and the days were not made up due to ignorance, and the making up of the days was delayed until another Ramadan, then fasting was discontinued due to pregnancy, and is it obligatory to feed the poor again, and what is incumbent upon her regarding breaking the fast in the current Ramadan due to pregnancy and post-natal bleeding?
You must make up the days you missed due to pregnancy and postpartum bleeding. You are not required to pay a fidyah for delaying the make-up fasts due to your ignorance of its obligation. If you broke your fast during pregnancy solely out of fear for the fetus, then in addition to making up the days, you must feed one poor person for each day. It is more prudent to give the fidyah as food rather than its monetary value, estimated at approximately 750 grams of rice or similar staple food for each day.
