What is incumbent upon a sister who broke her fast for a number of days in Ramadan two years ago while pregnant, and is still unable to make them up?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A pregnant or breastfeeding woman, if she fears for herself or her fetus, is permitted to break her fast in and only needs to make up the missed days. If the excuse of pregnancy, breastfeeding, or illness continues until the next Ramadan begins, there is no blame upon them, and they must make up the missed days whenever possible. If the incapacity is temporary (pregnancy, breastfeeding, or illness), she must make up the days when able. However, if the incapacity is permanent due to a chronic illness from which recovery is not expected, she does not need to make up the days, but must feed one poor person for each day.
