Is it obligatory to make up for missed Ramadan fasts along with feeding a needy person for each day, or is feeding sufficient?

You must make up for the missed fast, because pregnancy is considered in the same category as an illness from which recovery is hoped. If you broke your fast out of fear for the child, then you must make up the days, and her guardian must feed a poor person for each day, according to the majority of scholars. This is the view of the majority of scholars, including the four Imams, and it is the issued by us, and it is more cautious and absolves one's responsibility. If you broke your fast while able to fast without harm, then you must offer sincere repentance and make up that month without dispute.
