Q: Can a pregnant mother fasts?

A pregnant woman may fast if she is able to do so. If she is unable to do so, she may break the fast. If she does not fast because she is worried of her own well-being, it is compulsory for her to repay (qadha’) the days she has missed. If she does not fast because she worries for her baby’s well-being, it is compulsory for her to repay (qadha’) as well pay the fidyah for the missed days.
