What is the ruling regarding my breaking the fast every Ramadan, knowing that I am pregnant in the first few months, and have previously miscarried four times due to fetal malnutrition, and the doctor confirmed that fasting does not affect the fetus, while my husband believes breaking the fast is safer?
A pregnant woman is permitted to break her fast if she fears harm to herself or her fetus. The assessment of harm is determined either by the report of a trustworthy doctor or by experience. However, if doctors state that there is no harm from fasting, then she is not permitted to break her fast.
