The question

Is it sufficient for a pregnant woman to make up the fast day she missed due to vomiting and dizziness, along with feeling tired, or is expiation (kaffarah) required, given that she relied on the Imam's saying, "It is permissible for a pregnant or breastfeeding woman to break her fast if fasting becomes difficult for her"?

The answer

We have previously explained that a pregnant woman may break her fast if she fears for herself or her fetus, and it is obligatory for her to make up that day she broke her fast, and there is no expiation (kaffarah) upon her.
