Question

A pregnant woman has been ordered by the doctor to break her fast in the month of Ramadan. So, what is mandatory upon her, is it only to make up for the days she missed?

Sheikh Saleh Al-Fawzan

If she broke her fast out of fear for her health, then she only has to make up for the days she missed. However, if she broke her fast out of fear for her pregnancy, even though she was able to fast, then she breaks her fast and makes up for the days she missed along with feeding (the needy).
