If the pregnant Woman and the breast-feeding Woman fear for themselves or their Children

Question :

If the pregnant woman or the breast-feeding woman fears for herself or the child during the month of Ramadhan and she breaks her fast, what is due on her? Does she break her fast, give food, and make up for the fast; or does she break her fast, make up for the fast, and not give food; or does she break the fast and give food without making up for the fast? What is the correct position between these three?

Answer:

If the pregnant woman fears for herself or her unborn child from fasting Ramadhan, she breaks her fast and she is only obligated to make up for the fast. Her situation in this is the situation of the one who is not strong enough to fast or fears some harm for him from fasting. Allâh said:
"And whoever is ill or on a journey, then (he may make up for his fast from) a number of other days."

The same applies to the breast-feeding woman if she fears for herself while breast-feeding her child during Ramadhan or she fears for her child if she fasts and does not breast-feed him. She breaks her fast and she is only obligated to make up for the fast. And success is from Allâh.
