Must I make up the Ramadan fasts I missed due to pregnancy, after having already fed a poor person for each day?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If a pregnant woman breaks her fast in Ramadan out of fear for herself or her fetus, she must make up the missed days according to the four imams, and this is the most authoritative and cautious opinion to absolve oneself. If the breaking of the fast was out of fear for the child, she must make up the missed days, and her guardian must feed one poor person for each day, according to the majority of scholars. However, if she broke her fast despite being able to fast, she must sincerely repent and make up the entire month.
