A wife must make up for the days she missed in . If she delays making up for them until the next Ramadan begins, and she was able to make them up, then she must offer an expiation () of feeding one poor person for each day. However, if she was not able to make them up, then there is no kaffarah upon her, and she is only required to make up the days. If she broke her fast solely out of fear for her fetus, then she is required to offer a ransom () along with making up the days.
