It was reported from Abu Hanifa and his students that if a pregnant or nursing woman fears for her child or herself during , she may break her fast and must make up the days later. Neither an expiatory payment (sadaqa) nor a compensation (kaffara) is required of them. This is considered a sickness among sicknesses. This opinion has also been reported from Ali ibn Abi Talib and Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them.
