It is permissible to break the fast in Ramadan due to illness or breastfeeding if fasting affects the mother or the infant. No expiation is required for delaying the make-up fast if there is a valid excuse, such as fear for the pregnancy. The make-up fast must be performed after the excuse is removed, and it is not permissible to delay it until the next Ramadan begins. Feeding a poor person for each day is obligatory if the fast was broken solely out of fear for the infant.
