The Egyptian Dar Al Iftaa confirmed that fasting a pregnant woman is a duty if she can fast without harm to her or her fetus, noting that the legal ruling on this depends on her health ability during pregnancy.
Ruling on fasting a pregnant woman
In her response to a question, the Egyptian Iftaa House explained that if a woman is afraid of harm to her or her fetus will be caused by fasting, it is permissible for her to break her fast, provided that she spends the days that she broke her later after the end of the excuse.
She added that the Islamic Sharia takes into account the conditions of a pregnant woman, and gives her the license at breakfast if there is hardship or harm, according to the jurisprudence base that requires the lifting of the embarrassment of the taxpayers.
The Ifta House concluded its statement by emphasizing that the woman should consult the specialized doctors to ensure the impact of fasting on her health and the health of the fetus, stressing that God Almighty knows best what works for the conditions of His servants.
Earlier, Dr. Amr Al -Wardani, Secretary of the Fatwa at the Ifta House, stressed that the study of the hadith of the Prophet ﷺ is not just listening or narration of history, but rather a living experience that lives in all its details, citing the hadith of Abdullah bin Abbas, may God be pleased with them, who describes the presence of the Prophet ﷺ in Ramadan and his approach to the Qur’an with Gabriel, peace be upon him.
The Secretary of the Fatwa at the Egyptian Ifta House, during the episode of the program “Study with the Messenger of God”, broadcast on the Al -Nas channel, today, Saturday, that the meeting with the Messenger of God ﷺ in this school is not limited to recalling his biography, but rather a real participation in his words that were insignificant and light, indicating that the real life begins when the words of the Prophet ﷺ become a method that lives and not just words that are heard.
