C) *** THE PREGNANT WOMAN AND THE NURSING MOTHER :
It is permissible for the Muslim woman if she is pregnant or nursing her baby to break her fast in Ramadan if she is afraid that fasting may affect her health or affect her baby or affect both herself and her baby. The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said,
"Allah has remitted half the prayer to a traveller, and fasting to the traveller, the woman who is suckling an infant and the woman who is pregnant,"Sunan Abi Dawud 2408.
Pregnant and breastfeeding women come under the same ruling as those who are sick. If it is too difficult for them to fast then it is prescribed for them not to fast, but they have to make up the fasts when they are able to do so, like those who are sick. Some of the scholars are of the view that it is sufficient for them to feed one poor person for every day they missed, but this is a weak view. The correct view is that they have to make up missed fasts, just like travelers and those who are sick, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“but if any of you is ill or on a journey, the same number (should be made up) from other days”[al-Baqarah 2:184]
If a pregnant woman fears for herself or her foetus because of fasting in Ramadan, she may break the fast and she only has to make up the missed fasts. Similarly if a breastfeeding woman fears for herself if she nurses her child during Ramadan, or she fears for her child if she fasts and does not breastfeed him, then she may not fast, and she only has to make up the missed fasts. Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah (10/220).
