Illness permits a woman to break her fast in if fasting harms her, or becomes difficult for her, or if there is a fear of her illness worsening or her recovery being delayed. Fasting remains obligatory for her if it does not harm her. She must make up the days she missed. She is not permitted to resort to expiation () unless she is unable to make up the fast and her illness is incurable.
