What is the ruling regarding a woman who had to make up days from Ramadan, but delayed making them up due to her negligence, and then the next Ramadan began while she was pregnant and breastfeeding? And what is the position of her husband who reminded her to make them up?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

A woman must make up for the Ramadan fasts she missed once she is able to do so. She is only required to make up the fasts because she did not intentionally delay them. The hardship of fasting while pregnant is considered a valid excuse that permits her to postpone making up the fasts until the excuse is no longer present, even if another Ramadan overtakes her. Her husband will be rewarded for reminding her to make up the fasts and for helping her obey Allah.
