Islamic Studies The Five Pillars of Islam – First Pillar: Shahadah (Kalimah Tayyibah)

A pregnant woman fears harm to herself (not the child) if she fasts. What is the ruling on her fasting?

A She must fast regardless

B She can skip fasting and pays Fidyah only with no Qada

C She can skip fasting and makes Qada later (some scholars also say Fidyah)

D She pays Kaffarah

Explanation

A pregnant woman fearing harm to herself may break the fast and must make Qada (make up the missed days later). Some scholars also add Fidyah. This is different from an elderly person who only pays Fidyah without Qada.

Reference: Five Pillars of Islam Notes , Page 4

Hint

Pregnant = temporary inability → Qada required. Elderly = permanent inability → Fidyah only.
