pregnancy and ramadan

[amira25]

asalam alykum
i have just found out i am pregnant:statisfie and i am wondering do you still fast during ramadan when your are pregnant

[Santoku]

If you are pregnant on medical grounds fasting is not healthy. I believe that there is a get out in that you should not fast if it harms yourself or another and in this case it might harm you and your child.

I believe that protein deprivation during pregnancy hinders mental developement in the foetus.

indeed a pregnant woman is exempted from fasting in Ramadan, but I think you should fast an equivalent number of days after ramdan (after you deliver), I'm not quite sure about this though.

There is a difference of opinion about this amongst the scholars. I don't know all the details, so the original poster should look into this further and find all the valid opinions on this matter.

Pregnancy is one the legal excuses that gives the woman concession to break the fast.

However, the 'ulaamah differentiate between the reasons for why she would break the fast:

1) Out of fear for herself
In this case, since you are physically unable to do so, you only need to do Qadaa' (make up for that day).

2) Out of fear for her child
You are physically capable of fasting, there isn't any hardship on your end, but you break the fast because you fear for your child; in this case, you must do Qadaa' (make up the day) and also give Fidyah (compensation).

Otherwise, if none of the above apply, then you should go ahead and fast.

Allaahu A'lam.

my sis fasted during her pregnancy, partially because she was so sick all the time, that she actually felt better not eating.. and usually broke her fast on odd foods like liver or watermelons or cereal..
in other words I think you should do what you think is best for your body and of course consulting with your physician.. People are different and respond differently...

BTW.. congratulations on your pregnancy.. what great news Masha'Allah

every blessing insha'Allah
