permitted to refrain from fasting, or not?
He replied:
If a pregnant woman fears for her unborn child, she should refrain from fasting, make up one day for each day missed, and, for each day, feed one poor person one ritl (a unit of weight) of bread with something to accompany it. Allah knows best.
يَجُوزُ لَهَا الْفِطْرُ؟ أَمْ لَا؟
فَأَجَابَ:
إنْ كَانَتْ الْحَامِلُ تَخَافُ عَلَى جَنِينِهَا فَإِنَّهَا تُفْطِرُ وَتَقْضِي عَنْ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ يَوْمًا وَتُطْعِمُ عَنْ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ مِسْكِينًا رِطْلًا مِنْ خُبْزٍ بِأُدْمِهِ وَاَللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ.
