Is it obligatory to pay the fasting expiation (kaffarah) for a pregnant woman before the Eid prayer, or is it permissible to do so after it?

It is permissible for a pregnant woman who must feed the poor out of concern for her fetus to provide the feeding before or after the Eid prayer; the matter in this regard is flexible. Thus, she may feed for each day on its respective day, or she may gather the feeding for all the days and disburse it after Ramadan to those deserving, whether before making up the fast or after it. It is preferable for the disbursement to occur at the time of making up the fast. Scholars have stated that the feeding may be offered before, during, or after making up the fast, and that there is no difference in this regard between a pregnant woman, a breastfeeding woman, or someone who has delayed making up their Ramadan fast.
