If the pregnant Woman breaks her Fast she only makes up for the Fast
Question :
I was pregnant during the month of Ramadhan, so I broke my fast and I fasted other days in place of these days completing what was due on me and I gave charity.
Then I became pregnant a second time in the month of Ramadhan, so I broke my fast and I fasted other days in place of these days from another month. I made up for the fasts by fasting every other day for two months. However, I did not give any charity. Is there anything in this situation that makes it obligatory upon me to give charity?
Answer:
If the pregnant woman fears for herself or her child in her womb from fasting, she breaks her fast and she is only obligated to make up for the fast. Her situation in that is the situation of the sick person who is not strong enough to fast or who fears for himself 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."
