1. Is there a sin upon the wife who delayed making up her fasting days (menstruation) until late Sha'ban due to forgetfulness? 2. If intercourse occurred before Fajr, is it permissible for the wife to purify herself before Dhuhr, and what is the latest time she is allowed to purify herself in Ramadan? 3. Is it permissible for a pregnant woman in her last month to break her fast if it is proven that the fetus has low amniotic fluid due to fasting (bearing in mind that the doctor is not Muslim), and what are the consequences for her in this case?

The wife must make up for the fasting days of the past Ramadan (definition), along with feeding a poor person for each day if she delayed the make-up without a valid excuse. If the delay was due to a valid excuse, then no feeding is required. Forgetfulness resulting from negligence is not considered an excuse, but if it was not due to negligence, then it is hoped that she is excused and incurs no sin. It is not permissible for a woman to delay purification until the time for Fajr prayer has passed; rather, she must perform ghusl (definition) and hasten to pray. A pregnant woman is permitted to break her fast if she fears for herself or her fetus, and she must then make up the fast along with feeding a poor person. The opinion of a trustworthy doctor is considered valid, even if he is not Muslim.
